The Countess of Wessex’s Style

I have a feeling Lady Louise won't become a clothes horse like some royals because her main interest is in carriage driving for which she shows a passion. She dresses with style but isn't showy.
I believe her mum said she is bright too, (currently during A levels), but that they wouldn't force her to go to university. Whatever, I hope the media leave her alone.

I think their daughter is lovely.

Everyone made fun of Edwards It’s a Royal knockout but I thought it was a good attempt to drag the royals into the modern age.

He’s been laughed at for several things, but I admire that he had the courage to try the marines, and the even greater courage to admit it wasn’t for him. He’s followed his heart on a few occasions, some successful and some not, so good for him. (I’m a republican, btw!)

Kaleidoscope £45

Her style is so accessible and you can get the look whilst spending less.

There was an article online about Sophie’s style in the Torygraph yesterday. Many of her outfits are from mid-price ranges such as ME+EM, where dresses start at about £125 and the most expensive is £295. Certainly not the cheapest clothing out there but a great deal less than £38,000!

Grammygrammy the Laura Ashley/Prairie/Cottage Core look is very ‘in’ now! I never thought I’d see my dd in such attire but she’s embraced the look.

£65 in M&S

Jimmy Choo Dovina 100. -£475. She’s worn them a lot, they aren’t new for this visit. I like them, they look really comfortable.

I would like those shoes. Very practical and comfortable with a bit of glamour. I expect she has to spend a lot of time on her feet.

I think I read that they were Jimmy Choo so must have cost a fortune.

Lovely shoes! Is she really only 5ft 4in as she looks quite tall. I suppose heels help but I know I couldn't wear such long dresses. I wish!

Apart from the shoes which look a bit clunky. Otherwise she looks lovely. Hot by the look of it.

Just seen this photo, absolutely beautiful

Sophie and the children were on the same flight as us a few years ago. They took their places and acted as any other well-behaved person would in public, no fuss or bother. Sophie is very beautiful and elegant and came over as very serene, almost ethereal.

Speaking of royals, yesterday a friend on holiday in Spain bumped into the king and queen of Spain. She said they shook hands and were very friendly and chatty.

19 years ago myself an my husband were on a flight to St Petersburg, Russia and in the row in front of us was Prince & Princess Michael of Kent who were very smiley and chatty. We then found out they were in our hotel and saw them most days around the reception area/lifts etc. They were accompanied at all times with, I suppose what is called, Royal aides but were very open with everyone.
What a lovely couple.

I think she looks lovely! Classy and understated

Pretty dress. The stripe panel at the sides is unusual but flattering.

I don't think it's a famous designer, Blossoming
Sid Green?
I might give it to one of the DD!

Ooh! Sid Greene of London appears on a few vintage dress sites.

I beg his pardon

Not just Sid Green - Sid Greene with an 'e'!

Elegant and understated. Just lovely.

She’s done it again! I love this dress too.

What a pretty dress Joseanne - I only wish I had legs ? for a dress - mine are like matchsticks ?

Same here but I can get away with a maxi, although as I’m tall they are often mid calf!

It’s vintage, Calli, get it advertised on Vinted, you could make a tidy sum!

How very clever of you to be so fashion forward GammyGranny. I was all skinny black jeans and Vivienne Westwood t-shirts in my leisure time, with well cut suits for work. Did you keep your old frocks? They’d be bang on trend now.

I've got a frock from 1980 that seems to be bang on trend, problem is it's a size 10 and I'm not

Many years ago, when their children were small, Sophie and Edward visited our school. They were fascinated by the outdoor ethos and loved exploring it. When a child fell over, Sophie responded wisely yet sensitively like a good and caring parent.
