Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, is reported to have issued a savage response when asked if she and Prince Edward would step up in the wake of other royals abandoning their duties
The Duchess of Edinburgh 'issued a savage reply' when asked if she and Prince Edward would take on more work after Meghan Markle , Prince Harry and Prince Andrew stepped back from royal duties. One royal expert claimed that Sophie, known for being a hard worker in the Royal Family , responded with: "What did people think we were doing beforehand?"
This approach seems to have worked well for Sophie, who joined the Royal Family in June 1999 when she married Queen Elizabeth II's youngest son, Prince Edward. He recently announced he would be taking a short break from royal duties. Sophie is a full-time working member of the Windsor family and supports over 70 charities and organisations. She champions women's equality, agriculture, British sport and disabled people, according to Buckingham Palace.
When she got engaged to Prince Edward, Sophie Rhys-Jones made it clear she wanted to keep working after getting married. Sophie became a close friend of the late Queen, making her a favourite daughter-in-law. She even once called Her Late Majesty Elizabeth II "mama" in a speech, showing how close they were.
