Re: Karen Blixen and Queen Alexandra
Another royal connection: Bror von Blixen-Finecke was a good friend of Prince Axel and Princess Margaretha of Denmark. In August 1928, a few days after Bror had married his second wife, Cockie Birkbeck, they spent a week at Axel's home in Copenhagen. During this week Prince Axel turned 40. The party began at midnight on 12 August and continued for 24 hours, as Cockie later recalled. Crown Prince Frederik and Prince Knud, who attended the party too, were according to Cockie on friendly terms with Bror.
