how exciting for you!
And its nice to know that Sophie's coming with him. As I recall, she didnt accompany Edward when came to Canada in 2003. Though she was here a couple of years before that. Cant remember the exact year.

They were both here 2000 to open up a Parliamentary Conference in Prince Edward Island, in 2001 to open the Pan-Am Games in Alberta, in 2002 for Duke of Edinburgh's Awards business (I met them this time after an awards ceremony in Scarborough where TRH posed for a couple of photos for me! They were very nice), and, as you said, Edward came alone in 2003. The Duke of Edinburgh was in Toronto in 2004 for the Awards Sceme.

thanx for all the info. So basically Edward has been here every year since 2000, with and without his wife. Thats amazing.
 
I think you are talking about the Monarchist League Launch in Toranto. If anyone wishes to attend, I'll be happy to provide you with the details.
It appears Sophie's engagements have not yet been finalised. It looks like she'll be coming to Canada with Edward, but besides attending a ceremony for a hero of her Candian Regiment, Lincoln and Welland Regiment and a choir performance (which both will attend) I cannot find anything else.

Congradulations to Sophie who has been made patron of ChildLine. :)
 
Prince Edward opened the new Twickenham Cricket Pavilion on 19th April.

Hello has an article about Sophie and her new role as patron of "ChildLine".

If you click on the photo and then go ahead to photo number two there is a photo of Sophie with the model Caprice, a woman who, if I'm not mistaken, was said to have had an affair with Prince Andrew.
I wonder what the two talked about...;)

Sophie Wessex presents awards at Childline event
from Hellomagazine
22 APRIL 2005

http://www.hellomagazine.com/royalty/2005/04/22/sophiewessex/#enviarElegant in pale gold, the Countess of Wessex made a distinctly springlike impression when she presented awards to model/singer Caprice and other supporters of ChildLine at a special event hosted by the children's charity in London this week.

Prince Edward's wife has just been announced as the first patron of ChildLine, which was founded by popular TV personality Esther Rantzen in 1986 and provides advice, protection and comfort specifically to children.

Mother-of-one Sophie is also patron of the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists, where she addressed delegates earlier this month as part of her spring engagement schedule. In June, she and her husband are to visit Canada, where they are both honorary colonels in military regiments.

SOPHIE SWINGS INTO ACTION ON THE GOLF COURSE



29 APRIL 2005

http://www.hellomagazine.com/royalty/2005/04/29/sophiewessex/#enviarPrince Andrew's passion for golf is already well known, but now it seems his sister-in-law may be getting in on the act, too. Sophie Wessex brought a touch of royal elegance to the Camberley Gold Club on Thursday when she received a few tips on how to improve her swing.

A sharply cut trousersuit isn't the normal choice of attire when heading out for a day on the green, but that didn't stop the VIP guest from teeing up.

The combination of a large crowd of onlookers and Mayor of Camberley Paul Illnicki's advice on how to avoid the bunkers failed to faze the Countess, who laughed heartily after her ball disappeared into the distance.

Sophie's real reason for visiting the club was to support the Borough of Surrey's charity golf day. In previous years the Princess Royal has attended the event, which is staged to raise money for good causes, but this time Anne was busy preparing for a reception at Buckingham Palace.

Did any notice the odd poll been conducted on the Hello! Royalty page, linked to in a previous reply?
The reason I ask is because it makes no sense.
They ask about Sophie's golf outting?
And the two options are..
1. She should learn for Edward's sake
2. No, she must stick to motherhood and royal duties.

Now anyone on the page would have read that it is Andrew that is the golfer, not Edward. Although everyone, appears to be getting the two confused these days, you don't know how many photos I saw of C&C's wedding, referring to Sophie as Prince Andrew's wife. As far as I know Edward doesn't play he simply watches the golf game notably for the benefit of the Duke of Edinburgh Cup. On similiar news Edward will be going to confer the 'royal' title on a golf course in the Czech Republic, later this year. I can only think that BP is having Ed do it, rather than Andrew as every time he is seen on a golf course these days, the press go made.

And than the second option, She should stick to 'motherhood' it sounds like the old barefooted and pregnant role for women. And anyone who read the article would know that it was an official royal engagement.

Hello polls aren't exactly scientific. Now with the big Charles and Camilla wedding excitement/controversy dying down, I guess Hello is grasping at straws for coverage of the royals.
