Nothing wrong with high street fashion or trying to keep her young but her clothes are dowdy.It doesn't reflect well on Sophie that she looks so polished and always dressed in up-to-the-minute high end designer clothes whilst her daughter is in High Street fashion. I have recognised Boden and Hush on Louise at important events whilst all the other Royal women are wearing sophisticated expensive items. It seems that they are trying to keep her young.
I agree with the above Em_gardener that they are keeping her very sheltered. It may be that she is naturally a naive innocent character. She does seem very sweet and not at all street-wise.
She doesn't seem to be like other teenagers her own age, who are usually obsessed with fitting in.
James in particular must be bored senseless at family gatherings.It’s a bit of a shame that her and James are a funny age compared to the rest of the family. Too young to be one of the cousins with William, Harry, Zara ect, and too old to be one of the kids with the cousins children. So they’ve only really got each other and their parents, if they were a bit older she could made lean on one of the other royal women for style tips, but even they can get it really bad.
Why on earth is an 18 year old wearing Boden ffs. No wonder she looks dowdy. There are plenty of high street brands that aren’t tacky that aren’t also for middle aged women?It doesn't reflect well on Sophie that she looks so polished and always dressed in up-to-the-minute high end designer clothes whilst her daughter is in High Street fashion.

Yes she’d probably look nice in some Nobody’s Child dresses which have traditional shapes but more youthful prints and stylingWhy on earth is an 18 year old wearing Boden ffs. No wonder she looks dowdy. There are plenty of high street brands that aren’t tacky that aren’t also for middle aged women?
Agree. And let her do her own thing. I hope they are not being told to roll the kids oout when they would rather not be. They have been very private until recently.If she is shy and uncomfortable I’d rather her do whatever makes her feel less uneasy than wear something that isn’t ‘her’. We’ve had enough of them Trying to hammer square pegs into round holes to detrimental effect for the peg.
Yeah people either want a slimmed down monarchy or they don’tAgree. And let her do her own thing. I hope they are not being told to roll the kids oout when they would rather not be. They have been very private until recently.
They dont do that much work. William and Kates engagements would add up to about 3 months a year, if that. A lot of it is just turning up to some sports event or other. When they turn up to schools or charities, a lot of the time it's for a few minutes but the work that has to be put into the visit by other people is far higher and takes them away from them doing their actual jobs. Fewer of them doing more valuable work would be far more useful. Who is going to be that bothered about being visited by Prince Andrews kids or The Monarchs elderly cousins in 50 years?If the monarchy is slimmed down, it does mean a lot of work for the main group and now that H&M have left for California the numbers are reduced. Edward and Sophie will probably continue to work a lot and not fade into the background.
They may call upon Beatrice, who wants to represent the BRF, to do some royal appointments but I don't think Louise or James will. They both seem shy - especially James - and not happy with media attention. I have read that Sophie is bringing them up to have civilian jobs.
100%. People are cynical enough today. If Charlie wants his vision borne out, that should logically rule out his baby brother's siblings. There's a lot of Beatrice lately but that maybe down to Harry leavingThey dont do that much work. William and Kates engagements would add up to about 3 months a year, if that.

Sophie had an ectopic pregnancy before Louise. Louise was premature due to placental abruption and an emergency caesarian leading to her being the first royal born on the NHS. Both Sophie and Louise nearly died due to security delaying in calling the ambulance and Louise had to be transferred to another hospital; it was the first time the Queen had ever visited a member of the family in hospital. Sophie later did a lot of work for the hospital, premature babies and eye problems. She and Edward have said that they had IVF for James; their age and the previous problems would no doubt have contributed.Sophie and Edward had fertility problems, didn't they? They also knew each other for a long time before they married. I like Sophie and Ed - get on with the job with minimal fuss, always look appropriate, people like them, they know what they are doing and aren't bumbling around asking stupid obvious questions or saying dumb stuff.
