sophie looks wonderful. her figure is perfect. funny how society is now use to the "rail thin" look where all you see is bone protruding.

Thanks , everyone for posting all those fantastic photos.It is gratifying to see how genuinely happy they are. Very attractive. I do like the photo of Sophie and Phillip, the one of Edward and Sophie on a swing bridge with his arm about her. There are a couple of them holding hands. They seem to have a very good repartee, if that is the correct word.I quite liked all her outfits, except for 2 or 3.. Sophie is very attractive and Edward looks very happy in her company.
Thank you again, everyone, for posting all these photos... Kate

Sophie and Edward in 2001

Aren't they a handsome pair. Where do you find all these photos?
From books, the internet ??

 

[Katemac63]

Wow! When I just saw the thumbnail of the photo where Edward has the tennis racket I thought it was Princess Di with him. Thanks Sophie

There is a photo ( There is a photo on here of her wearing this suit) of Sophie, wearing a linen colour two piece suit with a matching hat.. the skirt is above her knee, : just in front of her and to the side is Diana standing and she is wearing a striking outfit as well, darker in colour,and I believe the length was to the calf, with a wide brimmed hat. Whenever I've seen this photo, I am always impressed how attractive each lady is and , yes, although they do resemble each other in colouring and hair, they are both lovely and each are their own person.. I wonder if they would have been friends? Does anyone have that particular photo..? They were at a wedding... Sorry - Don't know how else to describe this one..

hey
well i think there are sources from the press like corbis or gettyimages. also there are books about them and different homepages, but also mags like hello or, in germany where i live, lots of other mags about royalty!

KateMac63: is this the event? I think it was the only time Sophie and Diana were photographed at the same event. And you were right...it was Lady Sarah (Armstrong-Jones) Chatto's wedding, July 14, 1994.

If I have the wrong event, at least here are some more Sophie pix

I also believe that KateMac meant that event, as I can't remember any other wedding they both attended Here is the pic of Sophie and Diana together:

I remember an article from that time including the pic that said it was wrong of her to touch a prince the way she did (so close and with her hand on his shoulder)

edward the young prince



these pictures from corbis of a very young edward with his family he looks so much like lady louise

 

[iceflower]

I always love to see these pics again: Edward sitting with big bother Charles or playing on the floor with Andrew - very sweet..Thanks Sophie

Another nice pic from 1986, when he was offered that cowboy hat, Edward joked "Just what I've always wanted" :

Some more pics from 2003, the last pic with the boy makes me laugh, seems as if he was so shy that he had to be held in order not to run away..

[sydney00]

thank you iceflower. really nice and interesting pic. didn't know they are friends at all.

 

[Patsy]

IceFlower, how do you know that Sophie and Tiggy were or are friends? Do you know where this picture was taken?

 

[Warren]

IceFlower, how do you know that Sophie and Tiggy were or are friends? Do you know where this picture was taken?

I'm not iceflower, but look at the body language in the pic, and note the positioning of both of Tiggy's hands. Apart from this pic, Hello! has published over the years many pics of Sophie Wessex and Tiggy Legge-Burke/Pettifer together at various functions. Whatever the closeness of their relationship, they move in and share a similar social circle.

 

[Bella]

Thanks, Iceflower for the pictures. I don't like the ones where she is holding a rifle - I think hunting is a detestable sport, but that's besides the point. They are great pictures. Sophie has always reminded me of Gillian Anderson, the actress who played Agent Scully in the X Files. For some reason these pictures bring that to mind.

 

[LOSSEAN]

This is a great thread and Yes! Thank you very much Iceflower for posting those wonderful pictures for us. It's good to see TRH committing themselves to their roles as members of the British Royal Family wholeheartedly. And they seem to be having fun while doing it too! But most rewarding for me is the signs that show a strong Royal marriage.

The Countess is a lovely lady and a smart & stylish dresser.

 

[iceflower]

I'm glad you all liked the pics and Warren, thank you for answering the question for me, I had to smile about your beginning.. I do not have to add anything to that answer, I would have given the same, instead here is one more of the many pics of the two women together, this time taken in 1999:

[Bella]

Iceflower, where do you find these great pictures?! Lucky us that you do. Sophie barely looks like herself. I say she still reminds me of Agent Scully from the X-Files. Thanks for the picture.

 

[sydney00]

About capital pictures: I'm not quite sure how it is today, but a year ago it was for free to register there, I haven't been to that site for quite a long time..
