| Alexandra I of South Africa in one of her vast collection of ballgowns designed by couturier Chris Levin |
Following this a strange series of synchronistic events occurred which served to convince Alexandra that Diana herself was behind the scenes orchestrating the writing of the book. But why should Diana choose Alexandra, a relatively unknown South African author, for this mammoth task? Was it because as the wife of a prominent couturier Alexandra and her ex-husband had enjoyed a high social profile? In fact, Alexandra was once voted South Africa's best dressed woman and had socialized with the top echelons of society - as a couple they had stood proudly on the podium at Nelson Mandela's Inauguration.
In a reading with a well-known English psychic who was able to channel the late Princess, Alexandra asked Diana: "Beloved Princess, did we know each other in Versailles?" A few moments silence. Then a gentle laugh. "Yes, of course we did, dear Sister. And the irony of it is that I don't know who chose the better life this time."
'Marie Antoinette, Diana & Alexandra: The Third I' is a fascinating story intertwining the hopes and ideals of a girl from a Jewish family living in South Africa with that of Diana, Princess Of Wales.
After Nelson Mandela's Inauguration as President, life in South Africa was turned upside-down and her world with it. Alexandra Levin's book, whilst easy to read, produces great sympathy and empathy for her life and with life as a whole. A remarkable story, which leaves the reader thinking!

AUTHOR ALEXANDRA LEVIN
South African born author, Alexandra Levin, a BA (Drama) graduate from the University of Cape Town, is the recipient of numerous advertising awards during her long and successful career as an advertising copywriter at Grey, BBDO, Young & Rubicam and Ogilvy-Mather.
Alexandra’s most remarkable book to date: her spiritual autobiography Marie Antoinette, Diana & Alexandra – The Third I published by Strand Publishing (London) 2012.
Hoping to update her book Out of this World – The Alternative South African Experience, in 2005 Alexandra visited the well-known medicine man psychic, artist and author, Credo Mutwa. Credo declined to talk about himself saying that “Everybody who has written about me has been murdered as I know too much.”
Credo then began talking to Alexandra about how, shortly before the accident that took her life, Princess Diana had been urgently trying to contact him as she knew that plans were afoot to have her murdered. With Credo’s permission, Alexandra, with her small, hand-held tape recorder, recorded all that he had to say.
Since when a strange series of synchronistic events served to convince Alexandra that Diana herself, from the spirit world, was doing all in her power to make the contents of Credo’s interview known.
“I knew that I could no longer ignore writing the book was when a friend of mine loaned me one of Credo’s books Africa is my Witness. I opened it on the following paragraph: I wish I did not have to write this book, but something is telling me that I must. Whether that something is a Night-Walking Demon or a High God is something that I cannot decide. Of one thing I am quite convinced: I am not writing this book at my own initiative.
“A spirit appears outside my bathroom window each night. Some psychics have said that it is an angel. At any rate, it is a whitish-yellowish figure with its arms outstretched. The bottom of this apparition is in the shape of a giant warning bell. From another angle the figure looks like the final piece in a jigsaw puzzle. “
Alexandra attributes the “jigsaw puzzle piece” to something Credo told her on a subsequent visit.
“I asked Credo who had, in fact, been responsible for the death of Diana and Dodi. He replied that the same hit squad who took out King Moeshoeshoe III of Lesotho in the January preceding the car crash in the Pont de L’Alma, also were responsible for the death of Diana and Dodi, as the details of both car crashes bear remarkable similarities.”
Credo also told Alexandra about the small AIDS hospital he intended building – as modest hospital has, in fact, been built in the interim by Credo and his wife, fellow sangoma, Virginia in Kuruman in the Eastern Cape where they are now living … but the hospital is desperately in need of funding. “I feel sure had Diana lived, she would have helped with money for the hospital,” concluded Alexandra.
Where does Marie Antoinette fit into the picture? Alexandra says that when her life of wealth and privilege disintegrated before her astonished eyes, causing her to follow a more spiritual path, as the mansion was auctioned off, as she packed away her ball gowns and the couple’s collection of valuable antiques and pictures was sold, she knew that she had undergone similar hardships in Versailles.
In a channelled interview with a well-known English psychic who channelled Diana Alexandra asked: “Beloved Princess, did we know each other in Versailles? A few moments silence. Then a gentle laugh.
“Yes, of course, we did, dear Sister. And the irony of it is that I don’t know who chose the better life this time.”
Marie Antoinette, Diana & Alexandra – The Third I is available from leading UK bookstores, Amazon.com and Kalahari.com.
Proving her versatility as a writer, Alexandra’s next book Sexty, published by Pegasus Elliot Mackenzie (UK) in 2011 is as raunchy and light-hearted as her spiritual autobiography is serious.
In her hilarious new book Sexty, author Alexandra Levin, herself a Baby Boomer, comments in wry fashion about what it’s like being a Golden Oldie determined to live life to the full. Partying until the Grim Reaper beckons because ones achy-breaky heart has just about given up the ghost.
How do you go about dating when you thirty-something year old marriage falls apart at the seams … rather like those well-worn bell bottoms that you have lovingly kept in mothballs ever since you went to seed and no longer got high on weed? What about those single parties for over +45’s where your partner’s arthritic legs make a wooden chair a more supple partner? How about joining the gym when the last strenuous exercise you had was sex in those distant days when your partner was still up to it? And how do you appease the other angry passengers when your plane’s scheduled to depart in less than five minutes and you’ve carelessly misplaced your passport to pleasure in all that battered baggage you’re taking through life?
Baby Boomers, you’re going to love Sexty - particularly if your sense of humour is still intact.
Sexty is available from leading UK book stores, Amazon.com, Kalahari.com and at Exclusive Books.
