The Countess, 45, is being recognized for her service to the Queen and to the monarchy. The RVO, founded in April 1896 by Queen Victoria, is given to people ”who have served the Queen or the monarchy in a personal way”, according to Buckingham Palace. It is a personal gift from the Sovereign.

To see the different grades and photos of the order, see Wikipedia: Royal Victorian Order.

A Son for the Wessex Family

December 18th, 2007 No comments

Sophie, Countess of Wessex, gave birth to a healthy boy yesterday.

It was reported that HRH would deliver her second child via caesarian this Friday, but it occurred Monday instead.

The life of the Countess and first child Louise hung in the balance in 2003, when the baby was delivered via emergency C-section. Two years prior to the birth of Louise, Sophie  had to be airlifted to hospital after suffering an ectopic pregnancy.

So this successful pregnancy has Sophie and her husband, HRH Prince Edward, “absolutely thrilled!” His mother The Queen and the entire Royal Family couldn’t agree more!

Happily, the Countess of Wessex is pregnant with her second child.

HRH has had a lot of difficulty with previous pregnancies, so with every best wish, congratulations to Sophie, Prince Edward, the Queen, and the rest of the family!
