Naturally the Duchess was present today to present the trophy at the Aegon Queenc Club championship - i was quite surprised to see Andy Murray bow to her as i didnt think he would be the type of person to do that

Thanks iceflower, but pics 3 & 4, are not from the same event yesterday. They are pictures at the funeral of the WWI Veteran Henry Allingham which the Duchess attended on 30th July.

I'm sorry for the mistake, you are of course right about
that, HMQueenElizabethII, I should have noticed the
differing weather ;) and clothes!

Last night the Duchess attended a concert:

Fellow member HMQueenElizabethII has kindly sent me the
following link with pics of the Duchess of Gloucester and
asked me to add them here.

On October 7 the Duchess officially opened Addington School:

The article link contains many more wonderful pics, just click
on the gallery link below the picture:

One thing I like about the Duchess is how well she's adapted to a role that she never expected to have. After all, she thought that she'd be married to a well-born architect, not a Royal Duke!:flowers:

She really expected to be married to a royal architect who would do some minor royal duties as the cousin of the monarch not just a well-born one but one with HRH since birth as a male-line grandson of a monarch and the first cousin of the existing monarch who didn't have all that many relatives available at the time of her marriage.

Well, yes. I thought that I should have put in the HRH after I posted but let it go since it was late at night. No doubt she did expect occasional royal duties, but she didn't anticipate being The Duchess of Gloucester. :flowers:

The Duchess is scheduled to attend the APT Tour Masters Finals at the O2 Arena on Tuesday 24th November - im going that day so hopefully i will be able to get a few pictures of the Duchess at the tennis
 
Thanks for the latest pictures of Birgitte!! This woman is such an elegant and simply nice appearence and she does her job well.
 
I just read the memories of Alice, Duchess of Gloucester does anyone know if anything has been written about the current Duke or Duchess. She is definitely one of my favorites.
 
No, but HRH has written two books on architecture

They are a bit dated now, but you may be able to find copies in a library or used on Amazon. I last looked at them in the 80s.
 
Congratulations to the whole family!
That´s a royal baby boom.
 
I believe that the Earl of Ulster's child will be Lord or Lady ..... Windsor. Lady Davina's and Lady Rose's children will have no titles at all.
Thinking about it - I believe a boy (a younger son of an earl) will only be the Honorable but the daughter would be a Lady. That's inequality for you!

This is great news for Claire. Davina and Rose all to be expecting within a month of each other. The Gloucetser clan are favourites of mine cause they dont court the limelight and carry out their lives discreetly.

In regards to titles neither Davina or Rose's children will bear any title but the Earl of Ulster's children are styled Lord or Lady ( following the example of the Duke and Duchess of Kents grandchildren ie Lady Helen's four children carry not title simply Master/Miss X Taylor but the Earl and Countess of St Andrews's children are Lord Downpatrick and Lady X Windsor)

Davina of course is already step-mother to Gary's son Ari Lewis who is 17/18

If the EOU has another son he will be the Hon. Master whatever.
 
How wonderful and coincidental. :flowers:
