In November 2024, Alice participated in a demonstration in London, alongside her siblings and other individuals, including members of the aristocracy, opposing proposed changes to inheritance tax. The event included a march on Whitehall in support of British farmers that voiced concerns that the proposed reforms could impact the viability of family-run farms and rural estates.

In April 2025, Lady Alice celebrated her 30th birthday with a Midsummer Night’s Dream-themed event at Belvoir Castle, the family’s estate in Leicestershire. Joined by her sisters, Lady Eliza and Lady Violet, along with guests from British high society, the celebration featured elaborate floral decorations, theatrical costumes, and a banquet styled with natural motifs. The event reflected the Manners family's longstanding tradition of hosting social gatherings at the castle.
