She has always struck me as a very gracious and lovely lady, today no difference at all. She looks just so engaging with everyone, a real princess in my book.
 
A great Princess !
She is a little bit older than myself so I liked the Hon Rev. Richard Chartres 's Speech.

She comes across as a lovely lady and always has a warm smile.

I hope Princess Alexandra is ok. She had several engagements announced this week and hasn’t attended any of them as per the Court Circular.

That’s strange. The Palace usually announces if a member of the Royal Family is forced to cancel engagements through illness. Hoping that Her Royal Highness is well.

Yes that is unusual and I hope that she is well.

I also hope that Princess Alexandra is not sick for she always seems like such a gracious lady when at events for HM. I find it strange that the courts have not said anything about this for surely they would mention something if she was out sick won't they? ?
 
There was bad weather in the UK at the beginning of the week, so at first I though it was that. But now it’s been three separate days and some of these events in London, so it doesn’t make sense. There’s always a chance that the website is wrong, which wouldn’t surprise me at all:ermm:.

These were the events in the diary on the royal family webpage:

As far as I know, the palace does not ever comment on the health of any royal. Even when Philip is admitted to the hospital, that's all they will say is that he's been admitted. No further details. Same with the Queen.
 
For minor royals they don’t seem to be quite as closed. In 2013 around this time they announced that the Princess would be forced to cancel all engagements for almost 3 months because she had been diagnosed with polymyalgia (sp?) and then earlier this year they said that she had cancelled engagements because of a fall in which she sustained a broken wrist.
 
I hope Alexandra gets well soon. She is a very elegant and dignified lady and one of my favourites after HM of the older generation.
 
:previous:
Totally agree with you HP, she is one of the most dignified of ladies in the royal circle to me. I always enjoy seeing her out and reading about her, she carries herself so well, and she is also a very beautiful lady. Wishing her a very quick recovery and up for the holiday happenings by HM.:flowers:
