Very very interesting public appearance.
 
Nice to see them among the audience! I can imagine it was Louise's wish to attend.

This morning the Earl of Wessex and Lady Louise were pictured riding and carriage driving:

I can imagine it was Louise's wish to attend.

I can equally imagine it was Sophies idea, the program is very popular with most ages but particularly the mums of Sophie's age.
 
I think its hugely popular with mothers and daughters alike so it was probably a nice girls night out for them. Wonder what Ed and James are up to in the mean time.

If their household is anything like mine when my mum was out for the night, we got to eat sweets. ?

Lovely to see Sophie and Louise enjoying some mum and daughter time. I’m very jealous as I love strictly. I was really shocked to see them appear on screen that I almost jumped out of my seat. They both looked to be having a lot of fun. They will also probably appear on tomorrow’s episode as the results are filmed straight after.

X Factor was on ??
 
Maybe Edward had an early night and James went joy-riding in the Land Rover again. Sophie will be cross when she gets home!
 
Ah; I'm watching Strictly now so it was fun to see this! Claudia Winkleman, one of the presenters, is Lady Frederick Windsor's half-sister so perhaps she invited them into the audience (otherwise for us regular folks getting into the audience is a bit like picking names out of a hat - if you apply there's no guarantee that you will be selected to see the show live). Louise looks like she was having a great time - she looks really grown up.

What a fun couple of days. Let me first say I appreciate Edward and Sophie following Sikh dress requirements. Having said that I smiled as broadly as they did at Edward in the scarf. He should not take up as a milliner any time soon.

And this is not a fashion thread but what a treat for Louise and I loved the elegant dress and lip color. I hope someone gives her ballroom dance lessons as a Christmas gift!
