| On November 12, 2018, The Countess of Wessex opened the restored Royal Victoria Chapel at the Royal Victoria Country Park in Netley, Hampshire. The Chapel at Royal Victoria Country Park is opened to the public following a £3.5m restoration. The Chapel is all that remains of the Royal Victoria Hospital (aka Netley Hospital). The Royal Victoria Hospital was built in 1856 and served the British military for over a century. |

Schöne Sophie.
ReplyDeleteNun, man kann auf den Bildern leider ihre Kleidung nicht so ganz genau sehen, aber ihren Mantel finde ich schon mal super.
Does anybody know what C. Sophie's husband, Prince Edward, is doing as he rarely seems to be out and about?
ReplyDeleteI believe he has a company something that has to do with TV.
DeleteJust this week alone he has one engagement on Monday and on Tuesday. Then he has two engagements on Wednesday and three on Thursday. He and Princess Anne are the busiest English royals. But they do not get the coverage of others.
DeletePrince Edward was also at the Ceremony of Remembrance in London on Sunday

DeleteHe h no longer has the TV company and has not had for many years. Apart from any other duties, he does a lot of work for the Duke of Edinburgh's Award scheme. Love our elegant Countess's coat, with dark sweater and boots. I'm not sure of what I can see of the skirt.
DeleteThank you Anon 12:37. I completely agree that he and Anne's contributions are ignored most of the time. I would also add that he has not been involved in the the production company for over 15 years. He stepped down as Director of Ardent Productions in 2002 and the company was actually liquidated in 2009. He stepped down to take on more royal duties and since the Duke of Edinburgh has retired from many of his duties, Edward has stepped into many of those roles.
DeleteNice outfit and fitting for this event.

ReplyDeleteAgree, Lisa Nilsson, also prince Frederick, and Joachim?
And Carl-Philip...
DeleteI think the princes are out and about just as much as their wives. They often do engagements separately from their wives which just don't get as much media attention.
DeleteShe is always so engaged at these kinds of events. She looks good - I like this duster coat style.
ReplyDeleteah, this fantastic coat again!
ReplyDeleteRelaxed elegance at its very best.
ReplyDeleteIndeed.
DeleteI do like this woman whatever she wears, makes no beans of difference, she is still on top.
ReplyDeleteSophie is always so easy going with a happy outlook;a good asset to the royal family.Prince Edward is a good ambassador around the world for The Duke of Edinburgh award;as he will one day take on the title of Duke of Edinburgh. They are the only Royals in Charles's era not divorced.

ReplyDeleteYes, but they were lucky to be allowed to share a bedroom, even under the queen's nose. So I do believe, they could've gotten to know each other very well, and had time to really consider, if they're meant for each other. Where Diana, Fergie, and other royal couples DIDN"T had that 'opportunity. I read this long ago when they were more or less, engaged at the time
Es muy trabajadora, y siempre de buen humor el tapado blanco ya usado es hermoso
ReplyDeleteThe Countess of Wessex had two engagements November 13th. She also had several engagements today (Nov 20) in Derbyshire. Please update this website with this information from these dates.
