PRINCESS ALEXANDRA LEAVES
Thursday, October 26, 1972
Princess Alexandra and her husband, the Hon. Angus Ogilvy, left
this afternoon at the end of a six-day official visit to Hong Kong.
Shortly after their departure, the Princess sent a message to the
people of Hong Kong through the Governor, Sir Murray MacLehose.
The message read: "Our stay in Hong Kong has been a particularly
happy one for us both, and we leave today with regret, but with so many happy
memories.
"It has been a great pleasure for me to become acquainted with the
members of the Police Forces of Hong Kong, with which I am so proud to be
connected, and in addition we have renewed old acquaintances and made so many
new friends. We both of us wish Hong Kong and all her citizens good fortune in
the years ahead."

In reply, Sir Murray said: "All of us in Hong Kong are most grateful
for your kind message. There is a saying, 'Happiness is a visit from a friend
afar'.
Thank you for visiting us and for your interest in all of us and our
affairs, and for adding this touch of friendly happiness to the lives of so
many here.
"Please come again." "
