The phrase grand finale certainly suggests so...

Tumbleweed such a poignant metaphor!

Also I think the Queen is more a forgiver by nature. She never really held strong personal grudges against Princess Diana and Sarah Ferguson especially like some other members of the royal family did and still do in relation to Sarah Ferguson eg Prince Philip! I'm not saying they never angered her or had strong disagreements but the personal grudge aspect and long running enmity and hostility was not really present. Her unwillingness to be super harsh on the Duchess of York certainly displeased other members of the royal family. I suspect she has forgiven Princess Alexandra but that does not translate into them being close.

I had heard a rumour that Prince Philip fancied Princess Alexandra and that looks wise she was just his type but I never knew temptation had been given in to If it was just Lady Colin Campbell claiming it I would be sceptical but its clearly not just her. The parts of royal biographies I have read did not allude to this at all. Perhaps some journalists have a devilish pi** taking sense of humour when they say The Queen and Princess Alexandra are close! The other reason it shocked me is I have read in numerous magazine and newspaper articles that Princess Alexandra is very popular and loved within the wider royal family and is a favourite within the family. Perhaps that is journalists being devilish too ... Princess Alexandra's face will be one to try and spot on the day of Prince Philips funeral!! Thank you for the link. I'm shocked but enlightened.

Awe there is far worse deathlist forum sins committed than that don't worry!

I am genuinely shocked and do not know what to think!!

It is not sarcasm. https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1291496/Princess-Alexandra-who-is-princess-alexandra-queen-elizabeth-ii-best-friend Tallies with what I have read in parts of numerous royal biographies. Basically in a nutshell the Queen and Princess Alexandra are very close .

I'm sure you mean 2020 and not 2018! Yes the statistics are impressive and striking. My enema clearly ain't a cheap brand!

Good point. I'd say the Queens elderly and favourite cousin 83 year old Princess Alexandra also deserves her own thread.

Vera Miles another Hitchcock blonde is still alive as is Kim Novak who unless I'm confusing her with someone else was also a Hitchcock blonde.
