Thanks for the all the links to articles and photos.

I see that now their children are older and more self sufficient, Edward and Sophie definitely do more engagements in the beginning of July. I imagine James finished school a while ago but he’s older so needs less from them. It’s nice to see and I imagine they will end up like Anne and work pretty much all of July. I do hope we will still see all the families go to Balmoral in August.

suztav, yes he does, but after all the loses AND changes of the the 3 years, maybe it is to be expected. Stress can do that.
Losing both Parents and an increased and more visible workload too.

Plus, it you look at pictures of BOTH Grandfathers, Edward DEFINITELY has their slight build. King George Vl and Prince Andrew of Greece.

To be honest, I think he takes so very much more after Andrew's side more than The Windsors, especially as he ages. I don't know how to post pictures, but if you Google pictures of Prince Andrew in middle age, its remarkable. Plus Prince Andrew, Prince Philip and Prince Edward all do that similar "Arm posture". Uncanny.

Very much Prince Edward's build and facial structure ALSO reminds me of his Mother's first cousin, Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, yet another descendant from The Greek side of The Family. His mother, Princess Marina was a first cousin To Prince Philip.

Genetics at play. And The Duke of Kent is 87. Still out there helping out and showing up. Him and his sister Princess Alexandra, are two of my favorites !

He coul have his suit fitted and would look better. That one is swimming on him.
 
She does so many visits to different charities I sometimes feel like all her work gets a bit overlooked. She always looks so engaged with the people she is meeting.

The Telegraph journalist as well as an internet reporter have attempted to get access to the Edinburgh's on the royal rota. They both received a reply that all press attention is to be focused on the King, Queen and the Prince and Princess of Wales. I do not know if this is for the first years of the King's reign. But it is how it is currently.
