The active members of the British royal family that King Charles III can count on could almost be counted on the fingers of one hand. With his desire since his accession to the throne, to slim down the active royal family, Charles III has seen the representatives of the Windsor family dwindle over the last few months, to the point of finding himself slightly distraught at the occurrence of his cancer last February, to perform the royal performances in his place. Fortunately, some members of his family answered the call. Among them is one of the British’s favorite personalities among Royals, namely the Duchess of Edinburgh and wife of Prince Edward, Sophie Rhys-Jones. Formerly known as the Countess of Wessex, the Duchess of Edinburgh has always been a true “secret weapon” for the Firm, appreciated as much by his family as by the general public.
Highly appreciated by Elizabeth II in her time, the one who almost became queen of another European state is all the more appreciated by King Charles III for her involvement in the activities of the royal family, especially after the announcement of the king’s cancer, where she was able to become more involved to compensate for the cancellations of the king’s commitments following this health difficulty. This Sunday, March 10, from the English tabloid The Daily Expressroyal expert Richard Fitzwilliams praised the Duchess for her humility and commitment to her royal duties: “Sophie has been a pillar of the Firm for years. She is accessible, elegant and attached to more than 70 charitable associations, but does not court publicity” he explained. With her husband, they became so “indispensable” And “precious” for the king, that the expert assures that they will be much more visible “In the coming months” despite the couple’s lack of media coverage. Good news for the British and all fans of royalty, who appreciate this personality!

Sophie of Edinburgh: like mother, like daughter?
Sophie of Edinburgh isn’t the only one in her family to be greatly appreciated by the rest of the British royal family. Indeed, the Duchess’s daughter, Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor is also a very popular personality and has long held the unofficial title of “favorite granddaughter” of Queen Elizabeth II. However, her rather distant link to the leading royal family should not allow the young woman to expose herself more in the future. Lady Louise could even be, in the more or less near future, freed from the royal functions which have hitherto been granted to her.
