Earl and Countess of Wessex Current Events 10: March-August 2006

[bertie5252003]

I agree Sophie is not imo a short hair person it instanaly gives her ten more years and her face though thee is not ugly cannot take it BUT just my opinion.

I see in the royal diary that TRH will visit canada on june 1st - june 9th. I know sofie want's to spend time with lady louise but i wish Sofie would do a little more of oversea's visits as thats when we get a bit more press coverage of her, as the british press rarely cover her engagments , she such an asset to the firm.

Sophie's Hair

If you compare the photos from post 44 and 61 (I think those are the numbers), you can see her hair has changed in length in the last two or three weeks. The photos from post 44 are dated about March 24, 2006 and the ones from 61 are April 4, 2006. Definite change in length if you look closely.

For weeks Sophie has been making public appearances alone even though her husband is no longer out of the country.
I didn't think anything of it until Easter Sunday when her and Prince Edward arrived separately for church. hmmm...

Don't read too much into a photo. Sophie and the Queen arrived in the same car while Edward, Andrew and the Duke of Edinburgh walked.

That happens all the time, Sophie usually arrives with the Queen and the "boys" arrive walking or in another car; it's really nothing

The Countess

I THANK IF YOU ARE THE MOTHER OF A YOUNG CHILD YOU WILL RIDE WITH THE QUEEN. THAT'S WHY YOU SEE THE COUNTESS IN THE CAR WITH THE QUEEN GOING TO CHURCH ALL THE TIME ON HOLIDAYS.

If I look back at others who have shared the Queen's car to church - HM the Queen Mother, Princess Maragret, HRH Princess Alice, Dowager Duchess of Gloucester - even Sarah and Diana were there. I just think the Queen doesn't want to be alone and why waste and open sit. Prince Philip won't accept it if he can walk. I think the only reason Camilla wasn't in the car for Christmas was that Charles wanted to met their adoring public. But I doubt we will be seeing Sophie driving with the Queen much longer or even at all.
I'm afriad to say the tide has official changed. If is going to get very difficult to even get info about Edward and Sophie from now. We have entered the era of Charles and Camilla, William and Kate and Harry and Chelsy. They are now the royal family - everyone else is surplus goods.

Thanks lots for new pics of the Countess, platinum!But it'd be more lovely for her to go with a hat for the Service at St Paul's Cathedral.But she does look elegant with the new dress at Blush Ball.And yah i'm quite surprised that the Countess does always drives by herself on solo engagements.

 

[sophie]

Love the dress

I loved the dress and i hope she keeps her hair cut short.

 

[sydney00]

wow.. she didn't wear very much for the blush ball.. on one photo it's almost like janet jackson at the mtv awards

Thank you for posting the pics, purple!
Sophie has been quite busy the last days and brings the fresh and colourful spring into our computers

 

[Incas]

Is it me or does the Countess doesn't look too happy at the Blush Ball? Her smiles look a bit strained to me.

 

[Nichola]

The Countess has been out and about a lot lately!

I think she's looking lovely at the moment. I was a bit unsure about her new haircut at first, but the more I see it the more I like it.

Her dress at the Blush Ball is gorgeous. I think she's worn it before though - she wore it during the Golden Jubilee at a party where representatives from all the Royal Houses attended.

 

[sara1981]

im really like Sophie,Countess of Wessex because she really lovely you know when before she got married she looks like Diana's faces.

[bertie5252003]

I really like Sophie but I just think her new hair is soooo aging. It may look a lot nicer in person but IMO she didn't do herself any favours cutting it. I loved the outfit at the ball and the earrings looked just perfect.Thanks to all of you for posting them.
