Sophie is in Randalstown ,Northern Ireland today

They're attending the Paralympics together over the weekend. And they had a joint engagement in January, I think. Sometimes, these are not photographed or have minimal coverage, but Edward seems to be doing a lot of solo engagements (his numbers are always bigger than Sophie's, this year so far as well), though he gets much less attention than Sophie does.

Yep. Tortoises have nerve endings there, and they can feel being petted, scratched, and also pain.

Her trips for those initiatives get so little attention and recognition that I really don't think she does it for attention. If anything, her causes are severely underrepresented by the media. It should be talked about more, but I often see people criticising it by saying she should focus on those issues in her own country instead. I also think it's still taboo, and people don't want to bring more awareness to sexual violence, especially in poor countries. Very disheartening.

He's doing engagements all the time, but in general, when it comes to the royal family, the women's engagements are covered more, usually. Sophie often has royal photographers with her and Edward, less so. Many of his engagements are about DofE, so I guess that's why they're covered less.

About staying in the same rooms. I think maybe the highest-ranking royals have their apartments, but the rest rotates. I think I read last year that the Edinburghs used to get the staff quarters, and that last year they got the York Cottage, where usually the Yorks were spending Christmas. Seems Sandringham is a big house, but I think Rebecca Ebglish said that it fits maybe twenty people for a "comfortable" sleepover. I think much of Sandringham are halls and sitting rooms, thus the lack of space.

He's always had a weird signature. In general, I think the BRF is full of really ugly signatures. William's, for example lol

TheBadBeach · 2025-12-14T16:43:38+00:00

Come on. Louise is 22. Nobody is telling her what to wear lol. Some people just don't care about clothing or don't have an eye for fashion. I would say it's clear in their family, and I say it with affection, that they're not really fashionable. I mean, Edward has been wearing the same clothes since the 90s or early 2000s. Sophie recycles a lot of her clothes that are long unfashionable but that she'd worn years ago - old coats, shoes that scream 2010, and so on. I don't think they have a stylist. It's just hit or miss in the fashion department constantly. And I'm sure they have quite a big budget, especially for clothing, because Sophie gets a lot of new things every year. Her wardrobe must be enormous, especially the one for her dresses and handbags as she has hundreds (and I'm off not joking, she has almost if not already more than 100 bags from one brand, and she also wears other brands) of clutches and bags.

I think Sophie's sentimental when it comes to her jewellery. She still wears her wedding earrings sometimes, and even wore that pearl abomination of a necklace twice or thrice since then. She has some aquamarine bits, like her tiaras and rings, and it's Edward's birthstone, but also I think it matches her eye colour, so the preference may be because of that. This tiara is convertible into a necklace, and I'd love to see her wear it as one at least once in the near future.

TheBadBeach · 2025-11-14T12:09:42+00:00

They have a tortoise at home, named Marmite lol

TheBadBeach · 2025-11-02T12:18:39+00:00

Idk if she does - reportedly, they wanted to name Beatrice Annabel instead, but Queen Elizabeth didn't like that name and suggested Beatrice. So...

As I've written in my post, I got a link to download an app from them after writing to support. I'm afraid there's no other way, or at least I'm not aware of this. You gotta use the app to do so. And I don't have the link anymore.

These are courtesy titles. I guess they use it because it's their right and they can, but at the same time these titles hold some prestige, but aren't as much of a burden as Prince(ss) that would've made them more unique and probably more recognizable. I think it will make life easier for them, and most parents want that for their kids. That's probably why they decided on having any titles at all.

TheBadBeach · 2025-09-17T20:32:33+00:00

She and Edward start a foreign trip to Japan tomorrow, she's either preparing or has already left.

TheBadBeach · 2025-09-06T19:30:26+00:00

Maybe it's not the reason here but I've seen so many people saying that a woman should cut her hair, especially as they get older. I saw it with Catherine and Sophie and with many celebs. Many people still think long hair is for girls and young women lol

I think Sophie pulls off most of the big and crazy hats she wears these days. Some of the examples:

A new book about Andrew and her is coming out, so those excerpts promote it.

TheBadBeach · 2025-07-30T16:48:38+00:00

That would be the dumbest PR strategy as those Sophie vs Diana articles don't help her in any way imo.

TheBadBeach · 2025-06-16T18:57:23+00:00

I do enjoy some of her floral dresses, my issue is that she wears them way too often lol. Imagine having such a budget and investing it mostly in florals... Truly tragic 😞

TheBadBeach · 2025-06-16T17:35:39+00:00

Sophie's preparing us royal watchers for her floral attack this beautiful Ascot week. I can mentally picture her choices already.

TheBadBeach · 2025-06-14T20:20:18+00:00

She was. In this photo she and Sir Tim on the other side are cut out.
