Princess Alexandra looks very nice today,she also looks happy and relaxed.

 

[Caswallan]

Is it just me or does her suit look very warm for this time of year? The color is stunning on her though.

It has to be a warm suit because her in Denmark it is colde and rainy weather eventhough we are in the month of May and we are in the late of spring and in the beginning og summer I hope that the summer her in Denmark are going to be a warm one.

 

[Caswallan]

Ah that makes sense. Today in Canada where I live it is very warm.

I don't speak Danish, but the first sentence seems to be saying that Alexandra has 'many talents, one is shopping'.
Must be a slow news day in DK..

 

[paulette]

She never fails to amaze a crowd either with what she does or what she wears, And I must say that latest event she attended was spectacular.

Hi Zarat,
It's a gossip article and it is indeed about Alexandra's shopping habits. According to BT (a tabloid newspaper) the recently published accounts for 2005 shows that Alexandra spent DKK 5,000 per day on pure consumption; that this appears from the VAT accounts since royal are allowed a refund on the value added tax on all their purchases (we pay 25% VAT on everything we buy) and from these receipts which the royal have to produce to get the refund it appears that there are no expenses for her expensive villa in Hellerup or her car. But - according to BT - she loves expensive clothes, travels to exotic destinations - also with her 27 year old* boyfriend Martin Jørgensen - and that she has spent a lot of money on purchases of designer furniture and other luxury items for her new palatial villa just north of Copenhagen.

(* I just love the way the age difference has to be mentioned each and every time! Had it been the other way around, it would of course just be romantic - perhaps even natural?? - such hypocrisy)

 

[zarat]

Thank you very much UserDane for this info!

I really admire Princess Alexandra, she's my favorite royal and that's why I wanted to understand what the article was talking about.
Hm, even if she is a bit wasteful I will be still marvelled at her feeling for fashion. The royals are people who should be a bit beyond us (but it does mean that they are better) and make us dream -thats' my opinion.

UserDane, I love the way you pointed out BT's emphasis on their ages! It's true, every article makes a point of saying their ages. And in case the reader hasn't gotten the point, they sometimes make the calculation for the reader, along the lines of "Alexandra and her 14-years- younger boyfriend..."

Hi Zarat,

She still needs to keep a good home for her 2 sons - who are after all Princes of Denmark - what do people expect her to do shop for furniture at Ikea?

Also , expensive clothes and visits to exotic locations -those descriptions can also be used to describe mary and Frederick.

 

[Zonk]

If she truly spent all that money on shopping, she must be hiding them. She recycles a lot (which is a good thing). The tabloid press is something aren't they!

 

[RachelD]

Hi everyone,

I don't think it's a bad idea to recycle clothes...especially clothes that are that nice and expensive. And if your clothes become you so well, why wouldn't you want to wear them for a long time?

 

[paulette]

We could not really rely on gossip magazines and tabloids to give us the real figure that could prove that Princess Alexandra's shopping habits are way too much already. I think what they are stating are rubbish.

I think it is quite impossible for her to spend a little amount of money when to think she has two sons who are growing every minute of the day. And most of all, she has a very important work to do which is related to her position as part of the royal family.

The Crown Princely couple even spends a big amount of money on various reasons when in fact they still have one son. How much more with Princess Alex who has Nikolai and Felix?

 

[alola]

I dont agree to the B.T
She recycles, her clothes, a lot
I like her I think she is very elegant

 

[Jasl]

Don't you think that Joachim also pays for Nikolai and Felix? I wouldn't be surprised at all if Joachim took on half of the financial responsibility when it come to raising his sons. It would be expecting too much (and giving too much credit) to think that Alexandra pays for all of her sons' needs.

However, I too don't think that Alexandra spent most of her money on clothes, coz as we can see, she recycles. She has just moved into a new house, so I think she spent most of the money on furnitures and on travel.

But who knows what she spent it on. Its all conjecture for us. Like the Australian newspapers - they just divided Mary and Frederik's personal expenses by the 365 (days in a year) and claimed that that amount was what Mary spent on herself!!! And some simple people believed the newspaper claiming this! Absolutely crappy reporting.

 

[soCal girl]

She looks lovely but just seeing her outfit is making me warm. A turtleneck in June?!

I like her pink hat though . Adds a sweet, feminine touch to her outfit.

[Ms Griffin]

Thanks for the pictures, purple platinum. I especially find the second and the last ones of your thumbnails superb. The hat with that feather (?) looks fantastic to her outfit.


soCal girl, it looks like it was chilly. And a bit rainy maybe, so a turtleneck was probably appropiate.

beautiful photos thanks
i also love the hat, very pretty color on her. she seems so gracious.

This is a really lovely picture!
A butterfly on Alexandra's shoulder seems to have made her laugh.

Besides that, too much beige.
It seems the Danish princesses prefer to wear very dark colours when it's cold
and very bland colours when it's summerly.

[Joumana]

I think a plastisch surgerie on her eyes wil gives her a much prettier look.

 

[Little_star]

Thanks for the pictures of Alex in the "Rainforest"! She looks like she's having a great time and her outfit (with exception of the hat) is fantastic.
