A Royal visitor.  by happypat

A Royal visitor.

Not many folk out of the UK will know who this is. I actually didn’t recognise her at first just thought she looks so smart!
Of course then I realised it was Sophie Wessex, Prince Edwards wife.
She was visiting the show ground with Princess Ann, I didn’t see her.
Sophie had a go at Stone Masonry, I thought she was lovely & looked amazing. A credit to the Royal family. She is very friendly with the Queen apparently.

Three good things:
1. We have had visitors this afternoon….love showing people round my new house!
Lydia is over for the weekend & has bagged some of my throw out stuff…some lights, extension leads, a G-Tech hoover thing etc.
3. We are going to be able to watch the US Open tennis final courtesy of Lydia’s Amazon Prime Account. Hope both girls play their best tennis & aren’t overcome by nerves….so young both of them.

Remembering with respect & honour all those killed & together with their families, the victims of 9/11. Twenty years ago but I think most of us remember every detail as if it was yesterday.
Wonderful Pat! Shame you didn't see Princess Ann too!

Wonder what clever thing the guy has just said to her.

She looks so relaxed and friendly. You must be enjoying your lovely home and being able to have visitors. It has been a long time between deciding to sell and finally being settled again.

Sophue seems lovely.. her and Edward seem to fly under the radar which is probably a good thing for them and the family..
Bet you have great pride in showing people around your home..
Watched a doco on 9-11 last night of all clips of people that were there. So frighting.. they just didn't k ow what was happening.. The poor emergency services didn't know what to do..

How wonderful to capture this moment

Lovely photo- I saw a picture of her with Princess Anne on Instagram yesterday and wondered if you had seen them. Such lovely natural human beings
The anniversary of 20 years ago kept creeping into my mind. Such vivid memories of a shocking day. Respectful remembrance world wide I think. 😊

A lovely shot.

Love your photo, what a treat. Hasn't she got such a lovely smile?
Yes indeed we will never forget that terrible tragedy 20 years ago.

you can watch the tennis on Channel 4 Pat, no need for Prime
Rubbing shoulders with Royalty, I think you and Harry and Royalty in your village

@phil_howcroft Yes I saw it came up on Ch4 Phil….it’s a close match!
The amount of folk we have going past peering in at our house we feel like royalty ….this place has been so neglected over the last four years I think it’s quite a talking point….thank goodness the blinds are coming on Thursday!

She looks very approachable…a lovely smile!

How lovely for you to have visitors to show off your new home!
Sophie looks very relaxed - how nice to see her. Shame you missed Princess Anne!
20 years ago and it does seem like yesterday when we saw such horror on our TVs. There have been some very interesting documentaries this last week. We can only remember those lost and the survivors and all the families and keep them all in our prayers.

Sophie seems delightful. Quite lovely.
I’m certain you enjoyed the outcome of the tennis match! Well done to both of those young players!
September 11th, 2021  
@peggysirk Yes i deed Peggy a very close match, I’m sure they will be playing each other for many years to come!
September 11th, 2021  
@pamknowler Yes we’ve been watching Pam…you find out more all the time.

I expect she is used to people taking photos - not flinging filthy looks at photographers the way some people do! Our place is looking so beautiful now with colour and green grass and nobody walking by casts a single glance in!

How exciting to bump into Sophie Wessex at the show. A girls day out for her and Princess Anne.

We saw Princess Ann up close a few years ago when she parked her helicopter on the sports field in front of our house at RAF Henlow. She spent the night in the Officers Mess at Henlow en route to some function or other.

Great photo of her!
September 12th, 2021  
Great laugh
September 12th, 2021  
Great shot of the Countess.I think you got a better angle than the other photographer
September 12th, 2021  
Excellent photo. I once saw her in a shop in Ballater with the two kids and a nanny. I wasn't certain that it was her, but heard her refer to one of the kids as James. I came home and googled some images of her and the ages/names of the kids, and right enough it had been her. I rather like her too - very understated, hard working, and naturally elegant.
September 12th, 2021  
Great photo of her. She does look like a lovely person. Nice jacket too 😁
September 12th, 2021  
@yorkshirekiwi Thank you Carole, I was in the right place just at the right time…I happened to be just there when she came along.
September 12th, 2021  
@jamibann She was very elegant, that’s why I looked closer before I realised it was her.
September 12th, 2021  
@dkbarnett her whole outfit was understated & probably very expensive!
September 12th, 2021  
@onewing Princess Anne is another credit to the royal family too…..I think the men need to pull their socks up sometimes!
September 12th, 2021  
@maggiemae Ha ha well they should as your place is lovely. You are side on so not as much to see whereas ours is full on to people passing by….I think they have been following the build process too. Be glad when the blinds are up on Thursday!
September 12th, 2021  
Great capture, she looks so natural! I would like to have a trip around your house… it looks so lovely in the photos
September 12th, 2021  
Mixing with royalty now, what next the Queen herself. Nice capture. FAV
September 12th, 2021  
Delighted to see her relaxed and enjoying real life. She's a credit to the Family.
September 12th, 2021  
@denful You can come Denise! 😁
September 12th, 2021  
@ladymagpie Ha ha I doubt it….she could come to tea though….
September 12th, 2021  
@s4sayer I think so too Margo.
September 12th, 2021  
How fun to see Sophie!
