thanks avalonAvalon said:Sophie was not pictured and I couldn't find mention of her attending the Service, so I guess the answer is no, she wasn't there.
thanks again, don't was clear for me who was the boy.Avalon said:James Wentworth-Stanley was the son of Sarah's best friend, Marchioness of Milford Haven.
He was also a very close friend of Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice.
James Wentworth-Stanley was found shot dead at his father Nicholas’s home after a family shoot. He is believed to have been on his own at the time. Police is investigating an 'unexplained death'.
James died just weeks after his birthday, where Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie were present.
James was the son of Sarah's best friend and was extremely close to Princess Beatrice and especially Princess Eugenie.

milla Ca said:The end of a Celtic tradition: The last gold miner in Wales
It was once a thriving industry, the supplier of choice for Royals in need of a wedding ring. But the principality´s stocks of the precious metal have now all but vanished.

Skydragon said:Thank you for posting this milla Ca. It really is sad that this is yet another tradition that is on it's way out, nicer that it is through natural causes this time, (sort of).
Skydragon said:From the article
In recent years, the wedding rings of Diana, Princess of Wales, the Duchess of York and Camilla Parker Bowles were made of the metal.
But the Queen's supply is running out. One piece of gold held by the Crown Jeweller Garrards & Co and mined at Clogau, not far from Gwynfynydd, is now little more than a sliver.
Another 36-ounce nugget was presented to the Queen by the British Legion in 1981 and was used for the Duchess of York's ring.

With 36 troy ounces they have still got a large enough nugget for a few more rings. If it is 36 avoirdupois ounces, more still!
