based on the pictures you just posted, I'd say Sopie isn't pregnant. Not unless it is a recent development, so recent she hasn't started showing! I wish them the best and I do hope they are able to have a second child, if that's what they want!

Well, there's no better response to the tabloid (and us alarmist fourm contributors) speculation about a pregnancy than showing up in a dress like this...

she looks fabulous and has spoken more loudly to these rumours than any words would have.

i thought we had gone over this before. SHE IS NOT PREGNANT it was just a bunch of rumors that started to spread when she revealed that she would love to have more kids

[skhaynie]

Okay, we now feel relatively sure, based on the latest photos, that she ISN'T pregnant. Just b/c some of us were still hoping that she might be, for her and Edward's sake, and since no official announcement was made one way or the other, you don't have to jump down our throats!:(

While, I think the color red fits Sophie quite nicely, the dress is completely wrong for her...

It's ill-fitting and it's showing a bit too much with the sheer midriff and her black strapless bra...Brrr.

I'm very surprised (unpleasantly) by Sophie's dress.

I don't know if anyone have the same feeling with me, but i think the Countess of Wessex's fashion she had worn this year seem a bit sometimes look weird and a bit "down" as well, as some examples like she wore the "satelitte" hat at Ascot, and some other times's clothes were also being criticised that look weird, while her new sister-in-law The Duchess of Cornwall seems more and more improving her fashion so perfect though i don't really like the Duchess but i have to say that the Duchess looks more and more elegant than the Countess at the moment.

I have to agree with you. Red is a great color on her but the dress style is not the best.

The Earl and Countess of Wessex will be in Florida in December 2005.
They will be attending benefits in Jacksonville and Naples. :o

[corazon]

with louise?

[Claire]

I think that Louise might be brought along as this visit is techinically a private one - but I doubt that we would be seeing anything of her.

[liv]

And Edward and Sophie will be in Monaco for Albert´s coronation...

[corazon]

yeah, you're right, but I have hope to see louise....

I think it is really great that Sophie acted as go- between between Tesco and Jordan Airlines. It is great that she is finding a way to get clothes and food out to the people of Pakistan before the winter comes.
Strange that only the Kuwait News carried the story. Actually that is quiet funny.

LONDON, Nov 11 (KUNA) -- The Countess of Wessex, the wife of the British Queen Elizabeths third son Prince Edward, issued an urgent appeal Friday for donations of blankets and warm clothing to help the victims of the Pakistan earthquake, Buckingham Palace said.

The Countess has joined forces with the Royal Jordanian Airlines and the major supermarket group Tesco to call on people to help the thousands of stricken families facing freezing winter conditions without shelter.

Among the items needed are warm children's clothes, good quality blankets, sleeping bags, jumpers, winter boots, woolly hats and gloves.

Members of the British Royal household have already collected a large amount of goods and will be helping to pack them ready to be flown out to the devastated region, a Palace spokesman said.

Tesco said that donations can be made in specially marked deposit bins at a number of their supermarkets around the country. The donations must be made before Thursday, November 17, in order to be transported before the winter snow falls.

"The Countess had an offer from Royal Jordanian Airlines to transport the goods for free so she enlisted the help of Tesco to collect and transport the items to the airport," the Buckingham Palace spokesman added. More than 73,000 people died in the October 8 quake which devastated the north of Pakistan and Kashmir. The British people have donated more than 32 million pounds to help the earthquake stricken area. (end) he.
