Princess Alexandra was born on Christmas Day in London, England to two royal parents: Prince George (King George V and Queen Mary’s fourth son) and Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark. At the time of her birth in 1936, just two weeks after King Edward VIII abdicated the throne, she was sixth in line to the British throne, behind her cousins Princess Elizabeth (the future Queen Elizabeth) and Princess Margaret, and her brother eldest Prince Edward (the current Duke of Kent).
In 1963 she had a royal wedding at Westminster Abbey, when she married Angus Ogilvy, the son of an earl. After Angus was knighted in 1988, Princess Alexandra assumed the title of Honorable Lady Ogilvy. She has two children: James, born in 1964, and Marina, born in 1966. Today, she is a grandmother of four children and remains as stylish as ever. Here, scroll through the best photos of Queen Elizabeth’s cousin, Princess Alexandra, over the years.
