I think these photos reflect well, what I believe to be, the Duchess’ ‘down to earth’ and sunny nature. Whilst she is by no means a rebel royal, she has gradually shaped her own approach to the role showing an unstuffy and thoughtful persona at official engagements. She has been a steady pair of hands throughout the various crises in the family, which I imagine the King values highly.

I am hopeful for a birthday gift from the King for Sophie.

Her birthday pics are very nice but I wish there had been at least one formal portrait in orders and tiara. If we are going to have a royal family then I feel there should be a formal element included on such occasions.
