Princess Alexandra wore Princess Nicholas' brooch on one of her first engagements in Canberra in 1959: at a church service at St John's, Canberra.

See this British Pathe video

The brooch can also be seen on an AP video

I haven't seen it worn on other occasions but I confess I have not checked all available images. For much of the trip Princess Alexandra wore the ruby, tourmaline and diamond brooch presented to her by the Commonwealth government.
