A source said Sophie is 'normal' and has empathy that perhaps others in the Firm 'don't naturally have'
After the Duchess of Sussex and Countess of Wessex travelled together in the same car, their relationship has come under focus.
She is thought to have become close to HRH after her mother Mary Rhys-Jones, 77, died from stomach cancer in 2005. The family house, Bagshot Park, is close to Windsor and they regularly visited, with the Sophie and the late monarch meeting up for dog walks. They also shared a passion for military history, and could often be found trawling documents in the Royal Archives at Windsor.
Amid the ongoing tensions between the Sussexes and the Royals, one source has speculated that Sophie could help smooth over the relationship. According to The Times, Sophie was the first member of the royal family to visit the Sussexes following the birth of Archie in 2019, going to the couple's Frogmore Cottage in Windsor.
In March, Sophie undertook a four-day solo tour of New York City, where many of the events focused on promoting women's rights, something Meghan is also passionate about."Sophie’s working with girls’ education, she’s done a lot of stuff about violence against females in Africa...Are the Instagram generation going to be as obsessed with Sophie and Edward Wessex as they are with the Sussexes? Obviously not.He poignantly added "It’s not just for show.
But possibly more pointedly, she said that the royal family do all they can to try to assist new members to adjust to the royal life, adding: "We all try to help any new members of the family”.
