I can't believe anyone would think that Alexandra meant to be photographed in this way, or that she was unduly careless. You can clearly see that the skirt was long enough when she was standing
But that's the problem.
A skirt that is long enough while standing does not necessarily have to be too short while sitting.
Only if you are unduly careless or if it is meant that way.

You are calling Alexandra a hypocrite and sure she may well be, but if she is than Mary might be one too. But god forbid you would admit that a girl from Down Under could be a cynical member of the human race too. I'm not saying I think either Mary or Alexandra is hypocritical. I think both women are doing a good job regarding their scope. That you like one doesn't mean you have to dislike the other, that is a very childish and immature notion.
I was around three years ago when Alexandra and Joachim were still married and the comments on Alexandra were almost uniformly positive. Did all those people leave the boards or did they change their minds about her? She's in a bad position, and handling it gracefully.
Actually it was I who called Alexandra a hypocrite, not LindaHsu.
And my sceptical approach started long before Frederik met Mary,
around the time when Joachim got engaged with Alexandra.
I always had my doubts and they became more and more over the years
(through own observations and hearsay) and finally I developed a dislike for Alexandra.
Only I was not a member of this board three (or 10) years ago and therefore could not express my opinion.
And I think 3 years ago the comments may have been more positive
because people really believed in that "faultless superprincess/loving wife and mother/busiest royal"-image
which was created by the media (with the help of Alexandra of course).
Then it turned out that it had nothing to do with reality.
I don't think that Alexandra's current position is that bad, moreover she and Joachim themselves are responsible for it.
But I agree and already said in a previous post that she handled the divorce very well.
See, I can say something positive about her.
(Regarding Mary only a few words since this is an Alexandra-thread:
In the beginning I was very sceptical towards her too, out of different reasons though.
I have a much better feeling now. But if I ever get the impression of hypocracy I will not hesitate to say so.)
