I think Alex is more like Phillipe Junot was an opportunist - Alex, like Phillpe, seems to be preying on a younger, more vulnerable member of the so-called jet set. Why not find someone like a Kate Middleton, or maybe Alex isn't really a part of the London high society as it's been claimed - yes, he has money, doesn't mean he has class. He needs Charlotte to make him more respectable. I think Felix liked being able to go to events he may not have otherwise been invited to.
