Happy 56th Birthday on January 20th to Her Royal Highness The Countess of Wessex (born Sophie Rhys-Jones). The countess is married to the Queen's youngest son, Edward, who created Earl of Wessex on their marriage in 1999. They have two chidren, Lady Louise (born 2003) and James, Viscount Severn (born 2007). The Earl and Countess undertake dozens of engagements each year to schools, universities, and military installations, and work tirelessly for the numerous organizations of which they are patrons.
I think the Earl and Countess are a lovely couple, very supportive of the Queen, and a valued part of the cadre of senior royals who are taking on more and more engagements, especially in light of the global pandemic.
Ok Pamela- so glad you wrote this! We started The Crown and just finished Season 2 last night (right after Baby Edward was born) so we started googling him and reading about him and then I open your blog this morning- so cool! Thank you for sharing- love following The Royals :)
ReplyDeleteWe never hear a lot about the Earl and Countess, which is good for them.
ReplyDeleteThey look like a darling couple. Enjoy your week, Parmela.
I mean, Pamela!!
ReplyDeleteUsually it's the youngest child in a family that has a chaotic lifestyle, but in this case he seems to be quite settled! What a lovely couple. So glad we don't hear about them often, that indicates they're living their best life.
ReplyDeleteI just love her. She seems to have a close relationship/friendship with the queen. From videos/photos, they seem to really enjoy each other's company.
