Earl and Countess of Wessex and Family Current Events 4: August 2008-October 2009

I thought that the outfit she wore to the base was however very causal for a royal engagement.
Perfectly fine for the jumping in jets and playing with dogs :)

Many people here are not interested in anything they do, some have no idea who Edward is!

Sky do you think that people are not interested in anything they do because they have kinda taken themselves off the rader or because people are too wraped up in the royals that sit alittle closer to the throne?

Many people don't seem to have any interest in any of the royals. Those that have an interest seem to know about HM, DoE, Charles, Anne, Camilla, William & Harry, but who Edward, Andrew, Sophie and any of the children are is a mystery, so your suggestion that they are too far from the throne is spot on. Zara raises more interest because many young girls are interested in ponies but I don't think it has a great deal to do with her being the daughter of a Princess.

If you ask them about any lesser known 'celeb', they can tell you the life story and spot them a mile away!

[Lady Ann]

Well, some of us could still spot Edward a mile away myself included...lol

The first picture is really odd. Edward looks completely unlike himself and about ready to howl at the moon.

Very nice couple of pictures. It would be interesting to hear the conversation.

He looks scared of the dog!

So interesting you should say that, I was thinking the dog was trying to communicate something to its handler. Are you aware of his recent bad press regarding his own dog?

[Mermaid1962]

Oh yes! That was discussed in detail here.
