Personal Life: Modeling
Despite an early exposure to the modeling industry through the likes of her mother and aunts, namely the Princess Royal and Claudia Schiffer, Alexandra, prior to her ascension to the throne, has otherwise mostly refrained from ever actively dabbling in the industry herself. In an interview with 60 Minutes, she attributed her decision to not pursue a career in modeling to a "very important talk" that she had with her mother, with the latter, despite her pre-eminent status in the modeling industry, ultimately encouraging her daughter to pursue what she personally loved the most rather than simply following in her parents' footstep such as the likes of Kaia Gerber, Leni Klum, and Lila Moss, each of whom are daughters of well-known supermodel mothers. To that end, given that she had already developed a passionate interest in football, Alexandra soon decided to pursue a career as a full-time professional footballer with the resolute backing of her own family members, with her mother said to be her "biggest supporter" whereas her half-brother, a widely-successful footballer himself, served as her "personal mentor" throughout her playing years.
In a July 2022 interview, Alexandra revealed that shortly after she was proclaimed queen, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue then reportedly asked her if she was willing to be featured on the magazine's "special issue" that year wearing a Union Jack-themed bikini in an allusion to her British heritage, an offer that she promptly rejected over concerns of tarnishing initial perceptions of her as the new female monarch of the country in almost three hundred years. In addition, the fact that she would be baring much of her body for a magazine normally subscribed to by men also proved an immediate concern, with Alexandra herself later jokingly stating, "Perhaps later on I might but at just twenty-one at that time, I'm absolutely not going to wear a fancy bikini just for some horny men to lust over". Moreover, she later said, "If anything, I personally prefer that women who are deemed by most people to be pretty and beautiful seize the initiative to seek out and establish an identity separate from their looks because in the end, winning the lottery gene is one thing while doing something worthwhile and meaningful yourself is another and which undoubtedly requires much effort and passion being put into it". In this, Alexandra cited her own mother, a supermodel-turned-philanthropist, as her "idol" in becoming an adult woman herself, stating, "It is perhaps natural for me as a daughter but my mother is my everything and who I tend to look up to a lot once I became an adult myself".
Despite this, in the years since, Alexandra has, on several occasions, posed for magazine covers herself, in which cases she always appeared fully clothed, with the most famous instances being a group photoshoot with her siblings and her mother celebrating the latter's 50th birthday and an individual photoshoot with Dutch supermodel Karen Mulder which featured the two women standing side by side wearing matching sweaters complete with a pair of jeans.
