Another tiny post from me. It turns out I did predict right that this time TRH's will attend Sunday Service at St Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham after New Year as well. On pictures you can see The Countess of Wessex with Prince Edward and Lady Louise. Viscount Severn was not pictured, perhaps he stayed at the estate.
I don't have pictures of Prince Edward for my blog, but you can see few at PA Images by clicking here. Mum and daughter wore coordinated outfits, Sophie was in her navy Emilia Wickstead coat while Louise wore her Armani Junior coat.
I think they both looked striking. Of course the needed accessory to complete the look were Jane Taylor's hats. I'm in love with HRH's Fedora, it debuted in December 2013, and I am certain, it will never go out of style. The same applies to Louise's beret. Sophie also brought back the lovely China Blue Woollen Scarf by Jo Edwards London.
After the service, The Queen handed her umbrella to Sophie as HM was driving in the car with her Lady in Waiting. After a royal watcher "As The Queen left in her car, she passed her purple trimmed umbrella, which matched her outfit, to the Countess of Wesssex as she and the rest of the party walked back in the rain to Sandringham House. The Countess looked surprised and laughed as refused the offer to share one with the Earl of Wessex". Source.
According to the Daily Mail, The Countess and Lady Louise were presented with the flowers by 'Annie-Mae Close, nine, and Hugo Barnes, five, who had travelled from Stamford, Lincolnshire, with their family. The children said it was 'lovely' to give the flowers to the members of the royal family, and Lady Louise thanked them'. More here.
Here's the picture I found while looking at Instagram posts, you can see the beautiful interior of Sandringham's church, including chancel with its carved angels frames the silver altar and reredos.
Those were presented to Queen Alexandra by the American Rodman Wanamaker (department store magnate) as a tribute to King Edward VII. Sandringham Church dates back in its present form to the 16th century.
