Royal fans were buoyed by the news that she had felt well enough to travel with her family to Amner Hall in Norfolk to spend the half-term holiday with her children, as well as having the family hands-on to help out. It seemed her friends had been rallying around to lend practical and emotional support to the princess so that she’s well looked after during her recovery. In a heartwarming gesture of camaraderie, Duchess Sophie and Prince Edward were recently discovered paying a visit to Princess Catherine as she continues recovery following her shocking health issue. With Catherine’s planned abdominal surgery earlier this year, Sophie will have been calling to see if she could help out, as she went through a near-fatal emergency during the birth of her daughter, Lady Louise, and also suffered an ectopic pregnancy. So, she knows exactly what it’s like to have major surgery and come through it, and her visit to Amner Hall showcased the solidarity and support that transcends titles and positions.

Both the Princess of Wales and The Duchess of Edinburgh are popular members of the royal family, as well as being family by blood. With both the King and the Princess of Wales undergoing cancer treatment, Sophie has been making headlines recently as she and the Duke of Edinburgh are being praised for stepping up to juggle the royal workload more significantly than anticipated. But back in 2021, Sophie, who’s been a working royal for 25 years now, gave out quite a sassy response after being asked about the prospect of stepping up. She said, “What did people think we were doing beforehand?”

Following Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s exit from the royal family and Prince Andrew stepping down from his royal duties, Sophie’s pivotal role within the royal family has been even more prominent as she’s been providing vital support to the monarch, particularly in recent years. Many have labeled the royal as the firm’s secret weapon due to the public’s affection for her. Edward and his wife, Sophie, are often overlooked because they don’t seem to court attention from the media and appear happy to undertake their numerous royal engagements and foreign visits quietly, without fuss. Although way down the line of succession in 14th place, the Duke of Edinburgh is busier and more prominent than ever as he carries out duties while his eldest brother, King Charles, is undergoing treatment for cancer.

As well as Charles, The Duchess was also believed to be very close to the late Queen Elizabeth, whom she once referred to by a deeply personal nickname, “Mama,” in a speech. Her daughter, Lady Louise, was tipped for a key role in Prince William’s future monarchy by royal commentators. The royal commentator expressed his hope for the Prince of Wales to not continue slimming down the monarchy when he becomes king. When Prince William becomes king, he hopes he will follow the example of his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, and ask his cousins, including Louise and James, to share the royal duties with him while her royal best friend, Katherine, takes a step back amidst the cancer diagnosis.

The Duchess of Edinburgh has quietly become a major royal icon as one of the current key senior working royals. Being photographed is part of Sophie’s job; therefore, she’s under pressure to get her outfit right every time she steps out. The mother of two has ditched the beige tights and sensible court shoes and updated her newsreader haircut for a sleek shoulder-length style. For example, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, wore a 10-year-old Prada coat to join the King and Queen in their Easter Maundy service last Sunday.

The 1960s-inspired design won Sophie plenty of style points. As reported, Sophie has enjoyed a fashion transformation over the past decade. She’s also worn a lot of clothing from ME+EM, a go-to label for Princess Catherine. Personal stylist Annabelle Hoden said, “There’s nothing matronly here. She’s transformed her look by wearing flattering tailoring and coordinated outfits, and this empowers and invigorates. She’s building a youthful yet appropriate capsule wardrobe that works for her proportions and life.”
