A ROYAL TREASURE
It's easy to understand why the Danish people took Alexandra to their hearts. Apart from her natural grace and style, she is one of the busiest members of the royal family, involved in numerous humanitarian efforts. She takes great pride in her work and is known to painstakingly prepare notes ahead of official engagements. "I have been asked if it is the duty of a princess to work for charitable causes. The answer is no. It is my duty as a human being," she once said.

That down-to-earth approach is part of her wide-reaching appeal. As one charity chairwoman said: "She understands how to meet another human being in a difficult situation and make that person feel her equal." The Danish press regularly pays tribute to her friendly smile, easy manner and nurturing attitude, drawing inevitable comparisons with Princess Diana.
