Is Princess Alexandra the woman seated on the viewer's far left wearing a beige hat, beige scarf and a multi-colored blouse? Who is the woman seated second from the viewer's right in the navy ensemble and wearing sunglasses? Alexander Ogilvy's resume is quite impressive, I imagine his parents are quite proud of him! Thank you for including this story, Marlene.

Yes, that is princess Alexandra. He did not identify the woman between Julia and Flora, but it is possibly Julia’s mother.Jill. Julia’s father died in 2023.

It’s lovely to see the always elegant Princess Alexandra out and about. I am struck once again by her son James’ resemblance to his father! (Another elegant person!)
