Sophie certainly puts in a lot of air miles in the past years for the RF doesn't she? I wish there was more coverage of her work.

Any idea why she is in North America? Only thing I can find are articles saying she will be in Toronto and NY but nothing had been released.

Sophie seems to be one of those Royals [like Anne} that just does her bit for the Queen and country without having to have her picture plastered all over the media. They do their job in a professional way then go home to family life. I don't believe either are limelight hounds. They don't require to complete their lives. From what I have read, both seem to be extremely hard workers. Since Anne's children are completely raised, she has much more time to devote and does a brilliant job [always a favorite of mine] but Sophie has also done quite a good deal now that her children are getting older. I admire both of these women greatly.

She is magnificent and great asset to the Queen :flowers:
 
Is it just me or has Lady Louise gotten taller?

I don't have a high opinion of Andrew (that's a topic for another thread... ;)) but I don't think it was fair for the DM to mention the saga in a completely unrelated story. But that's the tabloids for you. :rolleyes:
 
hmm - I was looking at the same - might be the horse or the saddle. But yes in the pic it looks like she is near Edward's height? maybe its the pic?
