Personal Life: Relationships

Emma Watson, an English actress best known for her role as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter film series

Much like her predecessors, in her own right, Alexandra herself is also well-connected to a number of famous individuals and celebrities, with her most well-known celebrity acquaintance being the English actress Emma Watson. In an interview with the BBC, it was reported that the Queen, who was said to have had a "deeply passionate interest" in playing the role of Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter film series, first came to learn of Watson after seeing the actress in the first few entries of the series, a decision that Alexandra herself later claimed to have briefly instilled in her "some sense of jealousy", given her own passionate dream of playing the role herself, which she ultimately failed to do given her extremely young age at the time of the first film's release, that being in 2001, at which point the royal was then only five years old, almost half a decade younger than the then-eleven-year-old Emma Watson at the time. Ironically, by the time of the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2, the final entry into the series in 2011, Alexandra otherwise came to view the actress in a more positive light, so much so that the two later publicly embraced one another momentarily during the film's premiere at Trafalgar Square, London, with Alexandra herself later jokingly referred to it as the end of her feud with Watson over the Hermione Granger character, stating, "Whatever my feelings were before, Emma's clearly done a very good job portraying and bringing the character to life and that's personally good enough for me".

Aside from Watson, Alexandra is also particularly close with American actress Alexis Bledel whom she first met after becoming a fan of the comedy-drama series Gilmore Girls which Bledel starred in alongside Lauren Graham. To that end, the two first met one another at the 2006 Teen Choice Awards in California, United States where Alexandra, accompanied by her parents, met Bledel for the first time in public and was even later included in the latter's speech when she won the award for Choice TV Actress Comedy in which the actress described the royal as "my biggest little fan in the world". afterward, Alexandra herself even made a cameo appearance in the 2016 sequel Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life after having reportedly missed out on a chance of appearing in the preceding series due to her young age at the time. In 2014, she was even one of the few select guests in attendance at Bledel's wedding to American actor Vincent Kartheiser. Meanwhile, on the political side, Alexandra is known to be particularly close to Sanna Marin, Finland's prime minister from 2019 to 2023, with whom she has maintained regular contact and occasionally hangs out with during her spare time. In this, The Independent described them as "unlikely sisters with a bond seemingly bound by destiny", owing to their very close friendship with each other and them being only around a decade apart in age.

Following the marriage of her aunt Catherine, Princess Royal to American actress Jodie Foster in 2011, the first same-sex wedding involving a member of the British royal family, in the years that followed, Alexandra is said to have quickly become close with her new aunt-in-law whose intelligence was said to have greatly attracted the young princess to the American actress so much so that, as Alexandra herself later revealed, she would occasionally serve as a "home tutor" to the former, particularly in the French language given Foster's incredible proficiency in the language. In addition, Foster would also occasionally assist the royal in her academic studies including her well-known thesis surrounding media polarisation for which the two would hold late-night discussions in order to better improve Alexandra's thesis each time. Regarding this relationship, Alexandra has since come to describe Foster as her "second mother", stating, "Obviously, I very dearly love my biological mother and all for the entirety of my life but, when it comes to relationships between an aunt and a niece, I think the connection that I currently have with her is just very rare in nature and not something that you always usually see especially between an aunt and a niece. Overall, she has been very helpful when I needed her to and not to mention she is also smart, pretty, and kind".

The British socialite Alice Keppel (1868 - 1947), known for being the longtime royal mistress of King William V, with whom she reportedly had two children, namely socialites Sonia Cubitt and Violet Trefusis

Although born to a commoner mother, by whom she is the granddaughter of a Salvadoran immigrant, through her father, Alexandra is otherwise related to a number of other European royals including her second cousins King Frederik X of Denmark and King Paul II of Greece, her second cousin once removed King Harald V of Norway, and her fourth cousin Leonor, Princess of Asturias. In addition, Alexandra is also a distant niece of the late 20th-century English socialite and author Violet Trefusis who, after much speculation, was confirmed to have been the love child of socialite Alice Keppel and the Queen's great-great-great grandfather King William V whose affair with his royal mistress also led to the birth of Sonia Cubitt who was also an author like her sister. Meanwhile, by her aunt, Alexandra is the cousin of English model Georgia May Jagger, daughter of The Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger, and also the American model Kate Rodman, daughter of former American professional basketball player Dennis Rodman. Moreover, Alexandra is even distantly related to former British prime minister David Cameron who is her fifth cousin once removed given that the two share a common ancestor in King William IV whose illegitimate daughter Elizabeth FitzClarence by his royal mistress Dorothea Jordan is Cameron's great-great-great-great grandmother.
