LOOK AT THE FIRST PHOTO IN LAMINKA SPOT AND YOU WILL SEE ANDREW WALKING WIT THE BIG LADY, THE EARL WALKING WITH THE PRIMEMINSTER WIFE AND SOPHIE BEHIND HIM IN THE WHITE GAIL.

Does anyone know who the "big lady" with dark hair, walking along with the Duke of York, was?

A scan from Brazilian Caras magazine reporting the visit (they're so intelligent that they said that the "Danish" Royal Family was visiting Britain )

I'll translate the article shortly.

I know this is a bit late but, I really have to say that this was an amazing official visit. They all looked so pretty, and regal.

Mette-Marit & Camilla- I would like to see more of them together. My two favorite royal ladys.

And thanks to everyone who have posted informasjon and Pictures to this thread, you are great.


And one more time, I have looked after the speeches during the gala dinner at Buckinham for a long time now, but I just can't find them - not at the British or Norwegian royal sites or in this thread.
Does anyone know?
