PRINCESS ALEXANDRA VISITS POLICEMEN'S FAMILIES
Her Royal Highness Princess Alexandra paid a visit to Sgt. Leung
Sung and his family at their home in the Arsenal Street rank and file married
quarters this (Monday) morning.
Her Royal Highness made the visit shortly after unveiling a plaque
at a building.now under construction as an extension to the police head-
quarters complex.
Sgt. Leung, who has been in the force for 19 years, introduced
the Princess to his wife, Mrs. Leung Chan Po-chu, his two daughters,
Wai-ching, 11, and Wai-ying, 10 and his nine-year-old son, Wai-yip.
Princess Alexandra asked Sgt. Leung how long he has been in the
force and what were his present duties. She asked Mrs. Leung about her
housework and the children's education.
After the Princess left the flat, the children were asked how
they felt at having met Her Royal Highness. They said that they were very
nervous and excited and hoped that they could have an opportunity of meeting
the Princess again.
Many of Sgt. Leung's neighbours stood at the doorway of their homes
to catch a glimpse of the Princess as she passed by them.
The Princess took the opportunity of making impromptu visits to
a number of flats along the way. She asked the occupants many questions
about their daily lives.
