Wouldn't it be nice to see Kate Middleton doing something worthwhile like this rather than spending her time on lavish holidays. Good on Lady G for helping others when she could so easily have got caught up in living a superficial lifestyle, she has always come across IMO as a nice person e.g. taking her unwanted clothes to an OXFAM shop and this seems to be another example of that.

Yes and isnt it nice to see that just the daughter of 'Princess Pushy' will do such a job? She surely has raised her two children well.
I know some cruel people will say that it must be Prince Michaels credit. lol

"Our Lady of Brazil"
March 30, 2010, 4:28 PM
Brainy Brown grad Lady Gabriella Windsor, daughter of Prince Michael of Kent and Princess Michael of Kent, is off to Brazil to volunteer in Complexo da Mare, a complex of favelas on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro. Favelas are unregulated shanty towns, where shootouts between drug lords and the police are not uncommon. Our Lady of Brazil will apparently volunteer with the Projecto Uere organization, teaching English to underprivileged children. It is unclear where she will reside during her three-month stay. Perhaps Gabriella was inspired by her uncle the Prince of Wales, who seemed to have a grand time when he and his wife, the Duchess of Cornwall, visited Complexo da Mare last year.

Congratulations to Lady Gabriella!!  Teaching for 3 whole months - if this isn't praiseworthy, then what is? I truly admire and appreciate the way this young girl develops.

Thank you for the answer! Now I remember. Wikipedia says she is 29. Is she married?

No, Gabriella isn't married yet. Only her brother, Lord Frederick Windsor, who's about 2 years older than her, got married last September.

Thanks Dierna! I knew she would be here for her birthday. Although I don't like black on young women, Gabriella looks great here.

Glad to see she's back. She looks a bit dowdy though.

Calm down dearest, I didn't mean to upset you! The LBD is the exception that confirms the rule.

Thanks for the update!
It is great to see Lady Gabriella in London. I hope she enjoys visiting her parents. Her ensemble is not my cup of tea though.

The Black Coat looks great, but the Black SKIRT and Black pantyhose just do not look good on her. Not sure why, but I don't like it.... I guess for a girl as young and as beautiful as Ella, a colorful dress perhaps? Or is it to do with her lovely pale skin - I know black looks exceptionally good on dark men. But on pale-skinned blonde women?

You can see much genetic "Windsor' in Ella's appearance. Her mother is especially attactive as well, and very Germanic in appearance.
