Edward visited Adelaide zoo and he named two Koala's Sophie and Louise.

No, Sophie took his place.
The old schedule said:
· 20 April 2018
The Earl of Wessex
Patron, Commonwealth Games Federation will attend the Commonwealth Games Federation Sports Breakfast Meeting.
· 20 April 2018
The Earl of Wessex
will attend the Commonwealth Canopy Initiative at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond.

Now it says:
20 April 2018
The Countess of Wessex
will attend the Commonwealth Canopy Initiative at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond.

Nothing for Edward on Friday. It is, however, possible the webpage isn’t accurate, it’s happened before.

[Princess Larisa]

Apparently, the royal family website was wrong both times. In the end it was:

20 April 2018
The Earl of Wessex
Patron, Commonwealth Games Federation will attend the Commonwealth Games Federation Sports Breakfast Meeting.
20 April 2018
The Countess of Wessex
will attend the Commonwealth Canopy Initiative at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond.

My midwifery colleague works at the SECAMB building (there’s a midwife advice like number that is a triage based system) where Sophie visited today and she said she was really lovely and hugely interested in the midwifery aspect, having utilised the 999 services for a midwifery related emergency herself.

I’ve seen a small clip of Sophie’s speech and she thanks the 999 staff and mentions her own gratitude having been a patient herself once. Thought that was a nice tough.

[MARG]

Sophie is such a hard worker and her personality seems to be very empathetic which comes across when she makes a speech. It is a shame the national media don't cover her unless the young royals are not around. She and Anne are the unsung heroes of the BRF grafting away week after week and they just keep being overlooked.

I think they might like it that way. Just going about their work without all the fuss
