i think she was attending sunday church service.
(it's so frustating not to know what her schedule, what & when the events she was attending so we cannot caption the photos)

I think the princess is visiting a prison. Could it be Nelson Mandela's former cell?

I wonder who is staying with Nikolai & Felix while mom is away in South Africa, and dad is busy in Monaco.
Is it Alexandra's parents?

quite possibly since they live in Denmark. but even if the kids are with her parents, i'm sure they still have their nanny with them.

Thanks lots for the pictures, purple platinum. Princess Alexandra seems really happy as she always is, before when she was still in the royal family and now, she always a lovely person, always friendly and warm to people.

Alexandra originally belonged to the Anglican church. Here's what it says on the official website http://kongehuset.dk/artikel.php?dogtag=k_en_fam_ale
Princess Alexandra was christened in Saint John's Cathedral, Hong Kong. In Denmark the Princess, who originally belonged to the Anglican Church, has received instruction in the Lutheran Faith and was confirmed prior to the wedding in 1995.
