EXCLUSIVE: Following The Duchess of Edinburgh's successful visit to Tanzania, a leading royal expert explains why Sophie is a 'tigress' when it comes to championing women’s rights
In a year which has seen two of its most valuable players taking time out to focus on their health, the Royal Family has sometimes seemed rather thin on the ground. Even though this has presented a challenge, it has allowed other stars to have their chance to shine, and chief amongst them is the Duchess of Edinburgh.
“She is seen as a safe pair of hands when carrying out her royal engagements either with the rest of the family or by herself,” Jennie points out. “She doesn’t complain, she doesn’t demand, she just gets on with supporting the King when asked, and with pursuing her interests the rest of the time. She often does this under the radar, expecting no special treatment and is now absolutely part of the core working royals.
After their wedding in June of the same year, the couple welcomed their first child, Lady Louise Windsor, in 2003 and later completed their family in 2007 with the birth of their son, James, Earl of Wessex. With tours like these often taking an emotional toll – which Sophie is all too familiar with after previous visits to war torn and troubled regions such as Ukraine, Kosovo, Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo – how will the couple have been there for one another?
Elsewhere, Sophie focused on the plight of avoidable blindness around the world, something which holds a deep place in her heart as her own daughter, Lady Louise, was born with esotropia and underwent two different surgeries to correct her vision.
