That is terrible news about Alexandra's father. I hope she is able to visit with him.

Princess Alexandra's parents have been living in a building on the Schackenborg palace's estate for some years :)

The two other daughters in that family do visit their parents and Princess Alexandra :)

When his health was better - he and his wife went to visit them too.

Felix og Nikolai på bytur i barnevognen- 21.08.03

Der var dømt familieidyl i stor stil, da prinsesse Alexandra og prins Joachim med deres to sønner i weekenden deltog i Ecco Walkathon i København.

Når mor og far drøner rundt i gaderne, er det skønt at kunne sidde blødt og godt i en barnevogn og kigge ud. Sådan tænkte prins Felix, et år, ganske givet, da han i weekenden »gik« seks kilometer sammen med storebror, prins Nikolai, tre år, mor og far i anledning af Ecco Walkathon 2003.

Den kongelige familie havde som så mange andre danskere valgt at bruge søndag eftermiddag på at samle penge ind til Danmarks Naturfredningsforening, UNICEF, Hjerteforeningen og SOS-Børnebyerne ved at gennemføre en særlig gangrute.

the Poster Lukaz posted this over at SRMB, it's a telling look I think, at what a person goes through when they marry into a foreign royal family.

Lets move it to Alexandra News thread,



what did you think about the article?

"I miss Hong Kong", says Denmark's Princess Alexandra

COPENHAGEN (AFP) - Princess Alexandra, who left her native Hong Kong to marry Denmark's Prince Joachim in 1995, likes her new life in Scandinavia but still misses home terribly.
"When I see a sequence on television showing the Hong Kong waterfront, my heart beats faster. It's a good thing I don't see that too often," she told the free daily MetroXpress on the sidelines of the "Images of Asia" festival currently underway in several Danish cities.
The 39-year-old princess, born Alexandra Manley to a Chinese father and Austrian mother, said the things she misses most about Hong Kong are "the smells, the sounds, the sites, the food and the people", as well as Chinese New Year celebrations.
"I miss the cuisine a lot, even if Asian food is, thank goodness, very popular in Europe, especially in Denmark. But I love black eggs, which you never see in Europe," she said.
A mother of two boys, four-year-old Prince Nikolai and one-year-old Prince Felix, the princess said she hopes her background would somehow be a part of their education.
She would like to see them "learn to appreciate the multicultural life in Asia, the energy and rhythm that characterizes Hong Kong," she said.
"A large part of the Asian population is under the age of 25, which gives young people a lot of influence on music, fashion, trends, almost all areas. And our children must be inspired by this dynamism," she said.
While she enjoys her visits to Hong Kong immensely, the princess, who now speaks Danish fluently, said she has made Denmark her new home.
"Denmark is my life now, my future."
"It is however difficult to never live in Hong Kong again. It was a big decision to leave, but I made that decision and it was my choice," she stressed, adding that "Danes have welcomed me with open arms from the start".
"I can only return their kindness and generosity by saying that I like being in this country, I feel Danish now," she said.

Thanks Josephine.
I think it's very scary in a way. I mean, we all know that people have to sacrifice stuff when they marry foreign royals, but, the idea of never being able to live in your old home ever again, and missing stuff that you took for granted while you were there, and you can't get them, is very sobering. Makes me question why we'd want to marry foreign princes and become princesses, ya know?

That's why I think Mary Donaldson moved to Denmark. She needed to see if she liked it and could get used to living there. It's better for her to find out now then to later wish she wouldn't have married Frederik.

Knowing how close the two brothers are - I am convinced Alexandra's experiences and ideas on her own move to Denmark 8 years ago - is part of Crown Prince Frederik and Mary Donaldson's decision to let Mary have some years to get to know the danish society.

Princess Alexandra gave birth to her first child after 4 years - and when asked why it took so long time - she answered that she had not been ready earlier - because it took her so long to adapt to the danish culture.

Look at her dress.I like it very much.Very beautiful.It is so simple yet it's perfect for her. She looks great when wearing dresses with stripes or dots. The part of her body I also like is her legs..

Look at this picture.

I like her because she has a sense of fashion. Her dress even when simple always goes with how she looks..Her shoes has always attracted me..Color goes always with the dress.
