Hidden meaning behind Sophie Wessex's ‘striking’ £2,790 necklace

Sophie, Countess of Wessex, has been on a royal visit to The Netherlands. She has been spotted today wearing a gold pendant with a special meaning.

www.express.co.uk

you know i dont like the exspress but they are talking about Sophie's necklace here

 

[DutchJackie]

meanwhile my Sophie has been in the Netherlands visiting the Hauge and also chatting with woman in bussiness

i can only find out about her visit in the awful exspress so its all about the cost of HRH's clothe and not her jerlery or much at all about the purpose of her visit which is a great disserviced to the Countesse'ss work and the causes she champions

She’s standing next to prinses Mabel.

look i know that kings and emperiors, grand dukes and princes, earls etc dont wear much in the way of jewlery but until the corination im bending the rules for Charlie
because (and no disrespect to our wonderful and dearly missed late Queen) but Charlie had to wait such a long time

and he has impeckable taste and buys his royal loved ones such lovely sparkly presensts
and this little video will make you laugh

Adorable moment a toddler enthusiastically hands King Charles flowers

His Majesty, 74, made a solo trip to the institution in London, to mark its 125th anniversary and open a new frontline medical teaching hub,.

you have to watch the video
scoll down in the link
its so funny
and sweet
and sweet is a word i dont use very much

saddly i think that those Californian grandchildren are the losers in all this nastiness

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

no necklace today

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

wow check this out for fun and summery statement earrings in in Sint Eustatius

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

including a picture of the King with some locals where despite the heat this lady got the necklace memo !

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

HM has a crook back requiring surgery
get well soon Ma'am

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

no necklace (Or brooch) in Angola visiting mothers and babies

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

at least the mother in this mother daughter night out has a necklace and a braclete stack on
but do i see some bracletes hidden behind the houndstooth ?

as the new patron of the UK skin foundation i hope she will not be out sunbathing this northern summer (because its stupid and dangerouse especially with people of HRH"s colouring)
and i can see an ER



opps forgive me Your royal highness
anyone that knows me knows im hopeless at tech and i would never disrespect the Royal family

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

first no brooches
then necklaces falling out of favor
now no crown on the stamps
(i susupect like his granddaddy)
i might go back to bed and start this day over

UK Peeps ?
what does 1st stand for ?
what does it cost to send a regular letter within the mainland UK ?

a NZ stamp from 1938 with no crown on the King

i have no idea how much or how to say 1 /2d ? because we went decimel in 1968 3 years before i was born
...and i dont collect stamps
but i rememeber this one
back when my grandma was still alive so a long time ago now

do you think the Queen looks like her sister here ?
HM looks young
but look how young she was back in 1954

again i dont know what a d is money wise
?
saddly no NZ stamps for HM's platnum jublilee which i find perplexing because NZ post seem to issue new stamps 45 times a year to fleece the collector

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

a note to my dear Sophie
clay bird shooting looks tonns of fun
but when i was actually in the army females were allowed to wear plain gold or silver studs
my logistics regiment had a dark blue berrett and a dark blue core belt so us girls used to wear blue studs and get away with it

oh dear well we dont talk about him any more
lets just say he got demoted

in Maori it says
by our actions we are known
Mā Ngā Hua Tū Tangata

anyway excuse the very wide tangent but you know one does swear allengence to the Queen / King of NZ when one signs up


edit i may owe HRH an appoligy
do we see tiny gold earrings ?

(on the inside of course) i smiled like that the whole time i was in the army
i was just a reservest as i was saddly two years too old to go regular force something i still am very sad over
we got all the same trainning with reguar force just condenced into a pressure cooker
id post a picture of me but you know still having phone problems

anyway i do spy a ring

i dont know why that picture is so tiny

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

ill be quiet now becaue my birthday (september) present arrived
i waited till it was a lot cheaper for Gary
i should really post in the H&M thread but i dont want to

a few nice colour photos with jewles
but im only about 4 pages in and already HRH is talking about how his life's work was serving the Queen because thats what his mother taught him remembering that he lost his father at a young age also
and also how honored he was to stand beside the queen when the ocassion occured

 

[Begonia]

Diana was painted by Douglas Anderson in the gown. The portrait today hangs in London's Royal Marsden Hospital, which she often visited, supported and served as President for.

who has the amathysts now ?

This isn't a very good likeness. The nose is all wrong and the eye placement is off. Sorry to digress...

I reminded myself last night that I want to have it! I hope it will take less than 4-5 months to ship here.
I'm sure it will be an interesting read!

we have earrings on the Duchess of Cornwall in Cornwall

1st means first class postage @Daisys and Diamonds. There’s also 2nd class. In the old days, 1st class meant delivery the next day, and 2nd would take a couple of days.

Nowadays, you’re lucky if it arrives whenever

(I haven’t forgotten about digging out my leopard brooch, I must get round to it )

 

[dk168]

no necklace (Or brooch) in Angola visiting mothers and babies

Probably not a good idea to wear a necklace or a brooch for safety reasons - children will grab and pull!

[dk168]

@Daisys and Diamonds , 1st = First Class post, and 2nd = Second Class post which takes longer to arrive.

here i was thinking it was how wrote a shilling or something
i guess that would have made expensive postage back in that day
we have this thing called fastpost
its basically internal airmail
it was next day delivery
i rememebr a few years ago the post was so efficant the powers at be told them to slow down because regular post was arriving the same as the more exspensive fast post
how times have changed
