Sophie has risen to the occasion amid Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s current conflict with senior royals.
Sean Smith, author of Sophie: Saving the Royal Family, which came out in July of this year, spoke about the Duchess of Edinburgh’s professional integrity and work commitment in a chat with GB News.
Smith said most prominent members of the monarchy are embroiled in a dispute with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex that has undermined focus on meaningful work, but a strong sense of responsibility in Sophie does not allow her to stray from what really matters amid serious tensions in the Royal Family.
the author of Meghan misunderstood said: “The media has been and continues to be obsessed with the family drama involving Harry, Meghan, William, Kate and Charles. It’s a soap opera.”
“(Meanwhile) Sophie (has been) comforting refugee women and children,” he said.
For those who don’t know, the Duchess of Edinburgh has been making efforts to eradicate sexual abuse against women in war zones for over ten years.
In 2019, she visited Kosovo and South Sudan to promote justice for victims as Countess of Wessex before becoming Duchess of Edinburgh in 2023 to promote justice for victims.
In April 2024, Sophie became the first member of the Royal Family to travel to Ukraine, where she met President Volodymyr Zelensky and First Lady Olena Zelenska and worked to end wartime sexual violence.
