Alejandra's accession to the throne has brought a resurgence in support for the monarchy among the Tehuan people. In the last years of Maximiliano IV, support for the monarchy typically polled between 48% and 51%. Under Alejandra, it polls between 52% and 65% and her personal approval rating between 72% and 84%. Alejandra's reign is not without controversy, however, and she is generally unpopular with Tehua's historic aristocracy.

Birth

Alejandra's father was Fernando Carlos Francisco, the fourth son of Emperor Agustín III. Prior to her birth, the only legitimate grandchild of Agustín III had been Isabel Juana Maria. Her death in 1988 precipitated a succession crisis that put pressure on the other members of the imperial family to marry and have children. In 1990, Fernando married Donna Demetra Isabel Cabrera Santa Cruz, the daughter of Pedro Cabrera Rojas, Duke of Tula. Her brother Dimas Cabrera Santa Cruz is the current duke.

Alejandra was baptized by Bartolomé Cardinal Cortés in the Metropolitan Cathedral of St. Michael the Archangel in San Miguel. At birth, she was fifth in the line of succession after the four eldest sons of Agustín III: Maximiliano Claudio Martin (later Maximiliano IV), Antonio Juan Marcos, Agustín Cristóbal Domingo (later Agustín IV), and her father. Her uncles had several children who were briefly ahead of her in the line of succession. However, none survived past infancy. After the deaths of her grandfather, her father, and most of her eldest uncles, she found herself heir presumptive to Agustín IV at the age of 17.
