You are absolutely right, Will's princess :)

Here are two of my favourite pics of the couple: So in love at "trooping the colour" 1999 shortly before their wedding and walking hand in hand at Easter 2001:

My second post has disappeared, that's strange. Well, I try it again:

The Countess is not skinny like a fashion model. But it's a stretch to call her "fat". Looking back at pictures of her through the years, aside from her pregnancy, her figure doesn't fluctuate wildly. IMO, she looks healthy.

"Healthy" sounds quite good, there are enough woman around that are much too skinny..
Sophie and Edward at a garden party in summer 2000 - I like that special dress :) :

I think it's great to have a healthy curvacious woman in the BRF it's a comfort to know that she is a realistic person not deathly thin and keeping up with other celebrities. Sophie is a lovely woman and I hope she never changes.

Sophie is simply beautiful and she was just what the British Royal Family
needed. A breath of fresh air!

I hope so as well :) Here is a very early pic taken at Ascot in 1995:

sophie looks wonderful. her figure is perfect. funny how society is now use to the "rail thin" look where all you see is bone protruding.

i just wished she find her own style

Thanks , everyone for posting all those fantastic photos.It is gratifying to see how genuinely happy they are. Very attractive. I do like the photo of Sophie and Phillip, the one of Edward and Sophie on a swing bridge with his arm about her. There are a couple of them holding hands. They seem to have a very good repartee, if that is the correct word.I quite liked all her outfits, except for 2 or 3.. Sophie is very attractive and Edward looks very happy in her company.
Thank you again, everyone, for posting all these photos... Kate

There is a photo ( There is a photo on here of her wearing this suit) of Sophie, wearing a linen colour two piece suit with a matching hat.. the skirt is above her knee, : just in front of her and to the side is Diana standing and she is wearing a striking outfit as well, darker in colour,and I believe the length was to the calf, with a wide brimmed hat. Whenever I've seen this photo, I am always impressed how attractive each lady is and , yes, although they do resemble each other in colouring and hair, they are both lovely and each are their own person.. I wonder if they would have been friends?:) Does anyone have that particular photo..? They were at a wedding... Sorry - Don't know how else to describe this one..

If I have the wrong event, at least here are some more Sophie pix

I also believe that KateMac meant that event, as I can't remember any other wedding they both attended :) Here is the pic of Sophie and Diana together:
