Royal Spring Wedding of Princess Alexandra (1963) | British Pathé

[@alemar5810]

Princess Alexandra is my favorite royal. There's some kind of inner light and warmth in her that make her special.

[@RandomAsianC9]

Princess Alexandra is a hard-working, globe-trotting princess, going to functions, lavish or insignificant. MBEs or poor villagers, she greets every one of them with respect. Hong Kong newspaper wrote, "Princess has left the pier, but her smile lingers." "Prettiest woman in England." Everywhere she went, people were awestruck by her beauty, her class, her presence, and her kindness. 💕

[@verenamaharajah6082]

I was 6 years old when I watched this wedding on tv and I’ve never forgotten it, so it clearly impressed me.

Princess Alexandra is surely the most beautiful member of the Royal family. She has maintained her good looks into her eighties.

I was there My girlfriend and I on our big overseas venture. Sleeping on the pavement overnight was no hardship. Princess Margaret in yellow took my breath away her skin was that of a china doll. Royal households I shall never forget along with such a beautiful bride.

[@chevalierdupapillon]

I only just noticed that the last sentence, where the speaker quotes Winston Churchill (without naming him) with the words "we got married and lived happily ever after", is almost certainly an allusion to the fact that the groom's father, Lord Airlie, was actually a first cousin of Churchill's wife (Clementine Churchill, née Hozier, daughter of Lady Blanche Ogilvy). Given that both Churchill and his wife were still alive at the time of this wedding it seems almost certain that the papers would have mentioned this relatively close relationship, and that therefore the speaker would in all likelihood have known about it too.
