There is no shortage of beauties in the British royal family.
From Queen Elizabeth II▼
To Princess Margaret (Queen's sister)▼
Then princess Diana (queen's daughter-in-law).▼
Each one is a beauty that amazes the time.
The beauty we are going to talk about today is the only cousin of the Queen of England, a good girlfriend, and the daughter of the last blue-blooded princess Marina we talked about in the last issue- Alexandra.
The six beauties of Windsor Castle, Alexandra and her mother, occupy two seats, which is definitely the most beautiful mother-daughter flower in the British royal family.
Princess Alexandra is not well known to many people and does not dominate the headlines like senior royals, but she is actually a very diligent member of the royal family, once known as the "unsung heroine" of the royal family, and also called "the most efficient professional princess in the world" by biographers.
Always chic, typical of diplomacy, she never made a mistake in her life's public service.
As the years passed, the princess remained radiant. This is in stark contrast to some of the sensational events she has experienced in her life.
Her father, Prince George, was the Queen's uncle and almost became king of England that year, and George was a notorious flower-gut-eater who spent all day at home.
In September 1942, a plane crash left Alexandra's mother, Marina, widowed at a young age, with three children: Edward, Alexandra, and Michael.
In order to fill the financial deficit caused by the lack of income, Marina had to sell all kinds of things in the family, jewelry, house... Quite a few were sold over the years.
It is said that Marina preferred sons to daughters, and for this reason, her daughter Alexandra had a very unhappy childhood: in the case of financial constraints, she even had to wear her cousins and cousins to wear leftover clothes, and she was the first princess in Britain to go to school.
However, this did not affect Alexandra's excellence, although the sense of existence and the 26-year-old, radiant queen cousin can not be compared, but with the beauty of Princess Marina,but also the noble blood of the British royal family, before reaching adulthood, it is already the envy of everyone in the royal family.
Alexandra looks very much like her mother-in-law Marina, all of whom are classical temperaments, but she looks a little less melancholy, a little more gentle, and smiles a little sweetly.

Earlier we wrote that her father, Prince George, was tall and handsome and noble, but was extremely unfaithful to marriage, had a lot of affairs, and had bad taste.
Alessandra did not know whether she was influenced by her father, and did not choose a tall and handsome prince, but chose a local nobleman Sir Angus Ogway, although not handsome, but quite a veteran British gentleman, and was really considerate to the princess.
The Ogilvy crown was paid for by Angus the pack horse, who commissioned the jeweler Collingwood to remake the original hair ornament.

The crown is set with seven five-petaled diamond flowers, each with a lustrous pearl in its bud.
The pearls of the flower buds can also be exchanged for other gemstones, which can be better matched with clothing. Princess Alexandra loved it so much that she would see the Ogilvy Crown at the State Banquet, which has become the symbol of Princess Alexandra.
Some time ago, it was also lent to her granddaughter Flora for wearing at weddings as a happy inheritance.
There is also this gorgeous pearl and diamond necklace, is it a little familiar▼
Did you find that it is very similar to this necklace of the Queen of England.▼
This is no coincidence, it is said that because Alexandra liked the necklace so much, her husband Sir Ogway specially asked the jeweler to imitate a similar one for her.
Alexandra was not the most beautiful one when she was young, but as she grew older, she was the one who maintained her best temperament.
It was 1980 and it was over 40. ▼
This is probably not young, but there is no problem with the hard photos of the big head when you are older. ▼
Older, with gray hair, loose skin, wrinkles, but still an elegant and beautiful old lady. ▼
Such an elegant temperament, in addition to its own good foundation, also benefits from her fashion and good taste. Alexandra has a gentle temperament, and most of the jewelry she uses every day is mainly pearls.
Although her jewelry is not much, the style is still quite rich, especially the pearl necklace, there are long ▼

One of the three-circled pearls, The Choker, is Alessandra's favorite, worn so often that it almost makes people think she only has this one piece of jewelry.
Did you find it? This group of diamond-encrusted flower-shaped pearl stud earrings by the princess's ear is also quite high in appearance, and the frequency of matching is almost equal to that of this three-circle pearl Choker. ▼
A classic combination of one pearl + diamond in your circle, Alexandra has three pairs.
There is also this uniquely shaped winding Choker▼
There is also this diamond necklace with a pearl pendant, which is very delicate
It can be said that these jewels decorate the elegant beauty of the princess, and also witness her conscientious and diligent life.
Although she has been dealing with scandals frequently since birth, with a sex ghost father, who has a scandal with the Queen's husband Philip, who is caught up in corruption cases, and whose daughter reports to low-level children, Princess Alexandra still wins the Queen's trust and gratitude for her sense of responsibility.
Princess Alexandra is now 85 years old and often attends official business with the royal family.
She didn't look much like her cousin Elizabeth, but she was very similar to her sense of responsibility and diligence towards the royal family. Not long ago, his arms were broken, and he even ran for the queen in the royal family official post.
Beauty is most afraid of twilight, but Alexandra uses calmness and elegance, dedication and tenacity, so that her beauty has stood the test of time.
