Princess Alexandra in Washington and New York; January 12th-21st, 2004

But why the obsession with the British RF? Then how about other RF?
Are the engagements of both the Crown Prince of Denmark and Spain covered in the US also?

Alexandra and the others around her do not look too happy to be at the UN on this day or they were bored at the time this picture was taken!

Thanks sky, timtonruben359 and Jacqueline, for your replies!!

I must say that most of the time Alexandra has a fairly good fashion sense...but the suit in the last few photo's paired with the scarf made me cringe. The suit would have been fine without the scarf (even if I don't like the suit to begin with) but adding the scarf make it look way to busy!!!

I also don't like that color. Somehow lighter, brighter, and colorful dress or suit suited her, but when she chooses grey, dark brown, and black those old dawdy color, she looks older. I like her blue dress, light up her petite frame.

I think if she breaks the suit (the last one) and chooses coordinated solid color skirt, that would somehow tune up the old fashion sense. She is not following fashion much, I can tell.

I liked the outfit, the scarf I could see on maybe a different outfit. But at least it wasn't terribly awful. She still looked every inch a princess :)

[lasu]

She almost pulls off the horizontal stripes... almost. To me, even more cringe-worthy than the scarf is the coat. She looks lost in all that beige fabric...

nice pictures especially the last 2 pictures of her in New York.

Well, I think she is already in Denmark now?

Does anyone know if many fans were out to see the Princess during this US visit? She is not well known in the US (she deserves to be!), so I suppose her experience here would be a bit different than at home. I hope she enjoyed it and feels she accomplished a great deal. I would have tried to see her but it was unusually (almost dangerously) cold weather during her visit.

I think there were people who were out to see the princess but not really a lot of them unlike the attention the late Princess Diana had in her visits to the US. Many of the spectators there were maybe passer-bys who caught the sight of the Princess.

It really doesn't matter if there were a lot of people who were out to see her or only few. What really matters is that Princess Alex has fulfilled one of her works as a Princess and a humanitarian in terms with the UNICEF. She has accomplished a great task and I know that she is very happy and contented with her US visit. It also shows her great dedication and sincerity to her job.
