Lord Frederick Windsor: July 2003-September 2009

[queenofthelight]

I read that Lord Frederick Windsor was going to move to the USA.
Here is an article.

Perhaps then the British royal and partner searching for a California house were not Prince William and Kate Middleton but Lord Frederick and Sophie?

Quite possble. Thinking about it Freddie and Sophie do look quite similar to William and Kate. Except for the hair loss on Williams part.

I wonder which American Series they're talking about. Now I'm really curious. Anyway congratulations to her!

I think it's called 100 Questions.

Also, the American press in general doesn't know much about the British royal family -- they really only write about The Queen, Charles/Di/Camilla, and Harry and William/Kate. If they heard that a young, male British royal was visiting with his soon-to-be wife to look for a house, they might have immediately assumed that it was William and his girlfriend, just because that's the only young royal pair they know about.

Yes, this certainly makes sense. Especially since anyone catching a glance from a distance might have thought that Sophie was Kate.

I've found a homepage about Lord Frederick's fiancee Sophie Winkleman including some pictures: Sophie Winkleman .com | Pictures / Gallery

I think, she's really beautiful

Thanks so much for this terrific link. Where were Prince William and Prince Harry when Sophie W. was 'available'

I quite agree with you esp. after seeing the interview, she seems really down to earth and has much quality, way to go Freddie!

when is the wedding?

[Marsel]

I’ve heard the wedding will be on September 12. Her Majesty has apparently given permission for the wedding to take place at Hampton Court (I assume in the Chapel Royal). The reception will take place in the palace as well.

[Lumutqueen]

Yeah 12th September at Hampton Court. The wedding is less than a month away.

Daily Express | UK News :: Will the Royals accept a celebrity in the family?

The Daily Express article is so much rubbish. No one said a thing when the Queen, Charles, Camilla etc didn't go to any of the Gloucester kids weddings but if they don't go to this one it's because Freddie is a "black-sheep". The papers will use any excuse to have a dig at this family. Also a champagne and canapes reception after the ceremony when the photos are being taken followed by a big party elsewhere afterwards is not an unusual format. Lady Rose Windsor's wedding was exactly the same ie wedding, drinks and canapes at St. James Palace followed by the main party at a marquee in her parents garden. Mentioning the credit-crunch is just another way of tying to do the wedding down.

[Ella Kay]

I agree, Angela. Senior royals tend to go to these weddings when they are godparents of the bride or groom (or when they're especially personally close, I suppose). That's why Edward and Sophie went to Lady Rose Gilman's wedding. The article mentions that the royals who served as godparents for Lord Freddie are Alexandra and the Earl of St. Andrews. I'd expect them to be there, but probably not the others. And I wouldn't expect it would be a snub at all!

Off topic posts about Lord Fredericks wedding....and who and will not attend have been deleted. The wedding is three weeks away...let's not make assumptions.

Let's stay focused on Lord Fredericks Current Events...things that are happening daily and not in a month's time.

Row over Freddie Windsor's budget wedding to Sophie Winkleman | Mail Online

[Lumutqueen]

Pathetic. Freddie isn't a senior royal why should he have some fancy wedding equvilant to one for Prince William if he doesn't want one?

[Ella Kay]

The story's totally silly. No one was peeved when Lady Davina Windsor had a tiny, private wedding to Gary Lewis. Why in the world would they be miffed about this one?
