THE PRINCESS GOES SHOPPING
*
Princess Alexandra this morning captured the hearts of more
Hong Kong people when she mingled with the crowds during an early morning
shopping expedition in one of the most densely populated areas on Hong
Kong Island.
The Princess, in a carefree mood, strolled along Lyndhurst Street,
Gage Street, Graham Street and Wellington Street - an area well known for its
fresh fruit and vegetable stalls.
Accompanied by the Governor and Lady MacLehose and Mr. David T.K. Wong,
the Hong Kong City District Commissioner, Princess Alexandra again demon-
strated the charm which typified her six-day visit to Hong Kong. She stopped
to chat with people in the streets and spent some time "shopping around" at
the hawker stalls.
At Mr. Ng Ying's stall, she bought a catty of white cabbage and
later at the stall of Madam Lee Moon-king, the Princess bought four Chinese
apples.
After the visit Mr. Ng said he could not express how happy he was
to have a member of the Royal family shopping at his stall.
Madan Lee was equally excited about the visit and added "I'll
never forget this".
During the shopping expedition, Princess Alexandra was also
attracted by bean curd on sale at another hawker stall and live chickens
in a cage outside a meat shop..
