[67], Helena saw relatively little of her surviving siblings, and continued her role as a support to the monarchy and a campaigner for the many charities she represented. [68] She and Christian led a quiet life, but did carry out a few royal engagements. The Queen relieved her black mourning dress with a white mourning cap which draped over her back. Relations between Helena and Alexandra remained strained, and Alexandra was unprepared to accept Christian (who was also a third cousin to Alexandra in descent from King Frederick V of Denmark) as either a cousin or brother-in-law.
