From what I understand she is of mixed ethnic Chinese and European parentage and she met the Prince at Discovery Bay in what was then pre-handover Hong Kong, at the time a British Colony. She attended the better International Schools in Hong Kong and spent time studying, training and working Europe and Hong Kong. So I think the 'ordinary Chinese Girl' tag is misleading. She was not from China, she wasn't a Citizen of the People's Republic of China (PRC), she had a British Colonial era Hong Kong Passport. Netizens looking at this from the PRC need to take note that that the former Princess Alexandra is not an ordinary village girl from the Mainland as implied in the in the title. However it is an interesting story but it could only have happened in a place like pre-handover Hong Kong where the culture and the environment permitted it to happen.
I think Alexandra is precisely that… remarkable! And wise and wonderful! It amazes me that Joachim played up on her and went on to marry Marie when he had a loyal and wonderful wife to start with . Puzzling! I’m pleased to know that she has Polish heritage apart from other nationalities. She is positively beautiful, unique, and clever. She certainly isn’t ordinary. In fact, she’s quite extraordinary, I think she’s wonderful! Greetings from a Polish Australian.
Alexandra is quite a popular woman and for a good reason. Her Danish is almost flawless. I hope she is happy . I think Margrethe made a mistake by removing her sons Prince titles .
Inappropriate comment. She studied to gain her degree. She was bright and had a good work ethic. If she made more money than you then she’s no different to many others who also deserved to do well. I’m becoming rather annoyed lately about people who airily type a throwaway line.
@r.fairlie7186 Not interested in her degree. She is definetely intelligent and clever. Her family was not poor. At 81, I know how the world turns. You pay for titles.
@@Carletta-nt2xj I’m 72 and come from a lower middle class family. I’ve worked in four embassies, two in Asia and two in Europe and have observed the ups and downs of most nationalities through our consular services, usually due to deaths or robbery. I haven’t observed anyone in my country paying for titles. They are earned by doing good work, often of a humanitarian nature. Their names are usually announced on our national day. I’ve worked alongside a diplomat who later became our Prime Minister and was a lovely person. I’m sorry that this hasn’t been your experience.
@r.fairlie7186 They are lovely, but a title is a title, and you can buy it in many ways. A title doesn't mean you have money to spend, but you can buy a heiress with money. This is not new under the sun. If you are clever, would you not have your kids born titled? Or would you have them have a school teacher as a father? I don't think so. Titles, beauty, intelligence, and money make the world go around.
@@Carletta-nt2xj Yes, I’m well aware of the history of wealthy American heiresses like Jennie Jerome (Winston Churchill’s mother) and Consuelo Vanderbilt who gained titles upon marriage to a British aristocrat. In return they funded building works to restore the family mansion or castle, for example Blenheim Palace in the case of Consuelo Vanderbilt. This isn’t a subject that I wish to discuss any further. There didn’t appear to be much happiness gained by these business transactions. It still goes on but I am unimpressed. End of story.
Interesting story and someone I have never heard of until now. I wonder what she thinks about President Trump purchasing Greenland? She appears to have that quiet, strong beauty that powerful women have underlying the surface.
She had at least 75% European heritage in her blood. How was she an "ordinary Chinese" girl? Make no sense.

She was the one that startet the playing .
She’s only 1/4 Chinese from Hong Kong. Her dad is 1/2 Chinese, her mom is British.
Alexandra is quite a popular woman and for a good reason.
Her Danish is almost flawless.
I hope she is happy .
I think Margrethe made a mistake by removing her sons Prince titles .
Det er helt fint, Ingelise.
I guess she also had a lot of money..😂

Wrong pronouncement of his name
An extraordinary person…far from ordinary. Is there some hidden racism in this title? What will this commentator have to say about Queen Mary?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Nonsense
