J-F's marvelous find has captured my interest and so I did some hunting in the press.

Alas, I have found nothing more than the occasions when the photos were taken and reports on the colour of Princess Alexandra's ensemble on one occasion.

None of what I found gives us any real clues, so I wondered if the earrings Princess Alexandra wore on Ladies' Day (J-F's first photo) might give us some clues. Is anyone familiar with them?

Re J-F's first photo.

It was taken on Ladies Day, Ascot, 1961.

According to the press Princess Alexandra wore a deep blue or royal blue off the peg dress and coat with a white hat.







Re J-F's second photo.

It was taken when Princess Alexandra visited the British Industries Trade Fair at Stockholm at the end of May 1962.
