About the Countess of Wessex was reported on UK TV this week by the opera singer Katherine Jenkins.
If you throw your mind back to early March a special event celebrating music was held at Buckingham Palace, among the guests were Katherine Jenkins and the young jazz star Jamie Cullum. The Queen and The Countess of Wessex were among the royals present that day and mingling with the guests, when Jamie Cullum was conversing with the Countess, he had no idea who she was and asked her how she came to work at the palace and was the Queen a nice boss!
Katherine Jenkins reported that the Countess took it totally in her stride and pointed out that the Queen was her mother-in-law and a very good boss. Apparently the Countess found it all very funny.
I though I'd share this little anecdote about Sophie, I think she seems a really nice, down to earth lady, it’s a shame we haven’t really got the opportunity to get to know her as well as we did the wives of her husband’s brothers. I don’t think Sophie could be called a sister-in-law to Diana and Sarah, can she? Unfortunately Getty has no pictures of Jamie Cullum and the Countess but there is one of him meeting the Queen
