Earl and Countess of Wessex Arrive at Royal Variety Show

lPrince Edward visited my daughter's Uni a few years ago and everyone said how lovely he was.

After some early missteps, the Earl has grown into his role with grace and warmth. The Countess has long been a fantastic addition to the family, and it's been wonderful to see how devoted they were to her late majesty. It's nice to see their support for his older brother noticed.
