Maybe she did contribute to the breakdown of her marriage..

Concerning Alexandra and Joachim....we don't know what happened in this marriage. We cannot say that Alex was unfaithful or that Joachim was unfaithful. The particulars of the separation and divorce were never given to us. All of this print media can only speculate. They have no solid proof of what happened inside of this marriage. Whether they simply grew tired of each other and decided to move on and remain friends and civil for their children is still a puzzle to us. Frankly, I really don't care about what happened at this point. This divorce has been extremely aimacable and respectful so I see no point in thinking the worse of either parties. The media has to do this because they need to sell papers and magazines. I don't.
Of course, the fact that Alex is now dating someone gives them something to talk about. Not only is she dating again, but she is dating a man much younger than she and well we all know the old double standard. A good rag can probably get two weeks worth of rubbish out of this.
I agree that if Joachim was so awful to Alex that there is no way that her parents would remain on the grounds at Shackenborg. So, clearly that most likely was not the case for their divorce. However, that doesn't meant that Alex was unfaithful are caused the break up either. I think that if that were the case, the Manleys would most likely relocate out of embarassment and try to save face with their in-laws. This is most likely not the case either. This is what I would call a
Catch 22. If either party had actually behaved badly chances are that the Manleys would have moved in either scenario. Either case would give them more than enough reason to feel uncomfortable.
Let's face the facts. If Alexandra was so horrible, then why would she still be allowed to keep a prefix? Sure she no longer bears an HRH, but an HH for a divorced European Princess is very generous, IMO. If Alex was still so awful and contributed greatly to the downfall of her marriage, then why give her an added titled of Countess in preparation of her some day remarrying and not wanting her to be untitled? Regardless of saving face from the Royal House, this would not be normal behavior towards someone who committed an act of betrayal. I wouldn't expect for her to be denounced, but I wouldn't expect such graciousness and clear respect.

REMEMBER PRINCE CHARLES & PRINCESS DIANA?
Princes Charles was demonized for having an affair with Camilla Parker-Bowles while at the same time Princess Diana was elevated to sainthood by her adoring subjects. After her tragic death it was revealed that Princess Diana also had her share of lovers, many more than Prince Charles. Could this be the same case for Prince Joachim and Princess Alexandra? Maybe, maybe not. Only time will tell.

I am not even going to go there with the Prince Charles and Princess Diana comparison. I am so sick of having every royal or royal scenario compared to those two. Diana is no longer living and has been judged as far as I am concerned by her maker. Charles seems to be happy with Camilla, so I think that it is time to let the past be what it is-the past.
