Earl and Countess of Wessex and Family Current Events 6: July 2011-January 2013

[MagMil]

She is definitely my favourite royal, Daria.

She is definitely one of my favorite royals,too

 

[jlyspio]

She has and always will be one of my favorite royals. It is nice to see a marriage succeeding in royalty rather than consistently hearing about affairs or how unhappy they are in the marriage.

 

[EllieCat]

Sophie's my favourite Royal too; but i also feel it's got something to do that we're much the same age (I'm just a teensy bit older); it's easier to relate to someone the same age. I am interested in Kate and what she's doing; she is lovely but how can anyone relate to that perfection?

The Countess of Wessex tries her hand at using the Laproscopic (keyhole surgery) trainer in the new digital theatre guided by Deputy Theatre Manager Nasreen Young and Consultant Urologist Mr.John Donohue at the Nuffield Health Hospital in Tunbridge Wells, Kent. 08/09/2011

Sophie is bringing out the Ascot clothing now. I wasn't enamoured by that ensemble when I first saw it, and I am still not overly sure on the jacket. The dress underneath, however, looks lovely.

 

[roseroyal]

She seems to be having a ball! Love her laugh!

 

[Molly2101]

She did look like she had fun. I have found some more images of the visit:

One and Two

A few more can be found here.

I love the few of Sophie "performing" surgery. Amusing.

I love the fact that she wants to learn and be hands-on. She looks like she's enjoying herself.

Sophie the Surgeon. Reminds me of the game Operation!
A little bit more hi-tech here of course!

Lovely
She would will be an excellent-beautiful surgeon

Let's hope no machines buzzed as she touched the sides! I love that Sophie is hands on, getting stuck in to try it all out. I wonder if the patient was aware that Royalty would be performing on her!

 

[roseroyal]

Since it was a dummy I doubt it!

I wonder how it would have gone down if they were dealing with an actual patient and not a dummy. Thinking that in such a case she would probably just stood back and watched.

 

[Molly2101]

Since it was a dummy I doubt it!

Oh yeh, so it is! Now I feel foolish, haha. I can imagine Sophie wanting to try it on the real deal though!

@ Daria- Like Princess Di did watching third world children have open heart surgery in Britain through the Chain of Hope charity she supported. ( charity that brings ill third world children to Britain for medical treatment, unavailable in their own country.)
@ Molly- Sorry I laughed at you! Nothing to feel foolish about!
It did look real!

I remember reading about that in July's issue of 'Majesty'.

I remember reading about that in July's issue of 'Majesty'.

British people sponsor( give donations) the children, to cover the cost of the operation.
Diana paid for some of these operations herself, never telling anyone.
The world only found out about this, after she died.

I never knew that, however, I'm not at all surprised.

[julliette]

^^ She looks really good. Love her hair like that

 

[Daria_S]

Sophie looks wonderful. Is it just me, or did her hair get a little longer?

 

[MagMil]

Wow this year , just win win in all Sophie's outfits
She looks amazing

p.s. I hope next time we gonna see more pictures and some video footage

 

[Molly2101]

Sophie's hair has grown a lot in the past few months and I like it a lot. It's lovely and a lot blonder than normal. (Is Sophie a natural blonde?)

I agree MagMil, Sophie's outfits so far have been excellent. I still want that blue dress of hers...

 

[Mermaid1962]

When Sophie first appeared in the 90s, her hair was a darker blonde and sometimes seemed to be a tiny bit reddish.

 

[TLLK]

IMO Sophie's style and appearance has really improved in the last 6 months or so . She looks fantastic!

 

[Daisiesforever]

Oh yes, Sophie has come a long way and is really doing her role in the BRF true justice. I do love her hair a little longer. Edward must be so proud of his wife and wonderful children.

 

[Molly2101]

When Sophie first appeared in the 90s, her hair was a darker blonde and sometimes seemed to be a tiny bit reddish.

Her eyebrows are quite light and that's sometimes an indicator of natural hair colour, but I think she definitely suits being blonde. From the time she joined the family she's been blonde so I think if she were to go to her natural colour (if that is not necessarily blonde) it would be a bit of a shock! Louise is obviously very blonde, but she probably inherited that from Edward who was very blonde as a young boy. James is a brunette so perhaps Sophie is naturally darker haired. Either way, she looks good lately. She's hit her mid-life and instead of going downhill she's gone uphill! I agree Daisiesforever, Edward must be proud to be able to say, "Yeah, that's my wife."

 

[bertie5252003]

She is looking amazing love that she recycles and all the colurs she has chosen this summer have looked just great on her
