I loved watching Sophie play the giant Operation game and the concentration on her face was amusing.

Love that Sophie was wearing a piece of the Queen's necklaces.
 
Sophie does a lot (or has done for her) a lot of lovely things to her hair, and considering she doesn't have the thickest of hair, she does really well. What a stunning necklace! She looks great.

It's always nice to see photos of the Wessexes at the Christmas Ascot. Both Louise and James have grown up a lot since I last saw photos of them! Louise has blossomed into an elegant young lady and I can imagine that she will become quite pretty. In the "fashion for the little and teenage royals" thread, there were photos of Louise and James with other children; does anyone know who they are? I don't recognise them, so perhaps they are Rhys Jones relatives.

The funny face James pulled made me giggle, but Sophie didn't look terribly pleased with him! The Daily Mail has great photos, it's just a shame that its content doesn't quite meet up to those standards. I've stopped reading the articles now but I do occasionally browse the site for royal photos.

I just found out that one of the choir masters at my church who was one of the masters who taught me how to sing is now teaching Louise and James how to sing at Windsor. I'm a bit jealous, as someone who loves royals and singing! But I guess I can say that I mutually know the Wessexes? ;)

I knew Louise was in the choir as she was in the photos on the schools twitter feed for a recent trip to Poland. I love that James sings too! How lovely that you know someone who has met the Wessex's! I love singing too. I'm in the choir in the hospital where I work.

It's always a good day when you get to borrow a cute baby for a snuggle!
 
I love Sophie she does her duties without any fanfare and always with style . Who would have thought Edward would be the one to make the best marriage.
