Lady Alexandra Naldera Curzon, CBE (20 March/April 1904 – 7 August 1995),〔Tompsett Brian C. (2005) Index to Royal Genealogical Data, retrieved 3/17/2007 (Royal Genealogical Data )〕 was the third daughter of George Curzon, 1st Marquess Curzon of Kedleston and Viceroy of India, and Lord Curzon's first wife, the American mercantile heiress, formerly Mary Victoria Leiter, Mary Victoria Curzon, Baroness Curzon of Kedleston. She was named after her godmother, Queen Alexandra and her place of conception, Naldehra, India.

==Early life==
Alexandra was conceived in July 1903 at Naldehra, 25 km from Shimla, perhaps after a game of high altitude golf,〔Oberoi Hotels & Resorts, Wildflower Hall, Shimla, India – Other Activities/(golf Wildflower Hall, Shimla )〕〔Cory, Charlotte (2002) ''Sunday Times'', December 29th, retrieved 3/14/2007 "The Delhi Durbar 1903 Revisited",(Delhi Durbar 1903 )〕 and was named after that place. Her mother died in 1906 when she was only two years old. Her father's Indian servants called her "''Baba Sahib''", "the Viceroy's baby", and she was thereafter best known as "''Baba''". She and her sisters, Mary Irene and Cynthia, "''Cimmie''", were brought up in grand houses, Hackwood Park and Montacute; their London home, 1 Carlton Gardens in Carlton House Terrace, became a centre of elite social life after Curzon's second marriage to Grace Elvina Duggan in 1917. She was dubbed the "prettiest debutante of the 1922 season".〔CARTER, MIRANDA
