Princess Alexandra

It was still decades ago and not repeated, nor done before.

She had 36 years experience in PR ? she is 56 now !

Chardy How long ago was that? Have you never made a mistake in your life? Would you enjoy having it constantly referred to decades later?

She was young and testing new areas with royal wives having jobs. she learned her lesson and and hasn't repeated it, and is clearly now a trusted friend to the Queen.

I've made dozens of mistakes, but she was 36 with years of experience in PR, and should have known better than to say things to a complete stranger.

I agree Bluesky.

Must be such a comfort to the Queen having such a large extended family now that she lost her husband. I know it’s not the same but it’s bound to help.

She is well over 80. I think she was born in the mid 1930s. Given that the number of 'active' royals is being slimmed down, I would imagine she is enjoying a quiet retirement.

Agree MOnica glass houses etc.
I think both ladies are elegant and a support to the Queen. Not heard much of Princess Alexandra over the last few years though.

I thought that ‘good stock’was how the RF might refer to such matters BlueBelle. ?

Perhaps I should have described it as ‘good genes’.

Good stock is she a cow? Calendar girl ???

Yes, she was married to Angus Ogilvy.

She comes from good stock, her mother, Princess Marina, then Duchess of Kent, was considered a great beauty and very stylish.

Oh yes, Sophie Wessex and her multiple indiscreet conversations with the Fake Sheik, with tales of the govt not understanding countryside issues (hunting), what the Royal Family thought about the Opposition and certain politicians etc.

I remember watching her wedding on tv and thinking it made her a queen. My mum told me not to be so daft.

was she the one married to angus ogilvy ?

I couldn’t remember what she looked like so googled her.
Doesn’t she look like Diana in this photo.

PA has always been an elegant and discreet lady apparently the Queen is very fond of her.

Gosh I'd forgotten about Princess Alexandra and I always liked her too. She must keep a very low profile. I agree with the previous posters. Elegant and nice too.

Élégant, both of them.
