To each her own, but I don't think that it is "mean" given that there could be multiple people / "witnesses" in the room or an adjacent room when a royal woman gave birth.
Queen Alexandra never forgot the Danish loss of Schleswig-Holstein during the war of 1864 and, together with her siblings, remained passionately anti-Prussian all her life.
In addition to medical personnel there were government officials who were present as well to confirm that the birth had taken place and that nothing untoward happened, for example that a stillborn baby was not swapped out for a living baby. Now they may not have been in the birthing room, they may have been in an adjacent room, but they had to be close enough or accessible enough to be considered witnesses.
Both Princess Victoria / Vicky and Princess Alice married before their brother Albert Edward / The Prince of Wales. The main source of Alexandra's anti-German attitude was the war(s) involving the Schleswig-Holstein region. Interestingly, her "attitude" is referred to as anti-German, but it may be more apt to state that it was anti-Prussian / anti-Bismark. Although it should be noted that not only was her sister-in-law Princess Vicky / The Princess Royal married the heir apparent the the Prussian throne, but Vicky was also, if not the principle matchmaker, involved in the matchmaking, that led to the marriage between her brother Albert Edward / The Prince of Wales / Edward VII and Alix / Princess Alexandra of Denmark / Queen Alexandra.
