The Earl and Countess of Wessex's 2021 Christmas card has been shared by Royal photographer Tim Rooke on social media. The photo was taken outdoors at Forfar Golf Club back in June. Tim Rooke shared an image of the original photo he took in June, and also a snap of the card, which had been sent to him by the Earl and Countess. The card is on display on his Christmas tree. The inside of the couple's card reads: "Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year" and is signed by the Earl and Countess.

Setting aside what they are wearing, they look very distant with no unity between them. Two people in the field instead of a couple. - Ellie
ReplyDeleteThey are fine. This couple rarely - if ever - show any PDA. They are very formal, like many traditional, old school royals.

@Ellie, it’s amazing how we can look at an image and see it in about totally different manner, I see 2 rather happy people posing for a picture, I fail to see distance or coldness, in fact this new generation of royals are a little less formal while in public compared to their predecessors. I guess it depends on how we look at life in general. Although not generally crazy about Sophie’s fashion choices, I do like this combination it’s very flattering for her figure and the bright colors look well on her. He looks better on a quilt than most… it seems that so far the royals aren’t doing the typical Christmasy images anymore.

Jolie carte de Noël quand même très estivale mais j'aurais bien aimé les voir avec Louise et James qui ont dû certainement bien grandir !
ReplyDeleteSocially distancing?
ReplyDeleteI like each of their outfits, but they don’t seem to coordinate very well. P. Edward looks as though he’s headed to the Highland Games, whereas C. Sophie could be off to lunch with friends. It’s an odd choice of photo. (V.M.)
ReplyDeleteI agree. Sophie's dress looks to summery. Prince Edward's tartan skirt is good for the Christmas season. Even if the photo has been taken in the summer, she could have worn a plain red dress. Her shoes are not the best choise either.
DeleteIt looks like Sophie has been put on an existing photo of prince Edward. This could explain the distance between the two of them. And where are the children ? A christmas card made of a family photo is always nice during this period of the year.
Très jolie robe, avec veste assortie, cela ne fait pas très hivernal, cette photo ne doit pas être récente.

Sophie is such a beautiful lady. Edward is lucky to have her.

They look fine and happy, but where are their children? A family photo would have been very nice.
ReplyDeleteA lovely photo, beautiful, hardworking couple.
ReplyDeleteA lovely picture - it looks they were attending some sort of event in Scotland.
