I knew a guy (since passed away a couple of years ago) who drove her around a little bit while she was here in Brisbane in the 1950's (he was in the army at the time). He had a photo taken by the press of him opening the car door for her.
I also knew a guy (not all that well, a friend of my brother-in-law's parents who had a property near his, I did have dinner at his place once though) who had Princess Alexandra of Kent stay at his place at Warwick in the late 1950s. That part of Old Stanthorpe Road between Warwick and his property was sealed just for that visit (and has been maintained ever since).
