Sophie rose to the occasion amid Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s ongoing conflict with senior members of the royal family.
Sean Smith, author of Sophie: Save the royal family, which was released in July this year, spoke about the Duchess of Edinburgh’s professional integrity and commitment to work during an interview with GB News.
Mr Smith said most senior members of the monarchy are embroiled in a feud with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex that has undermined a focus on meaningful work, but Sophie’s strong sense of responsibility is not letting her stray from what really matters amid serious tensions within 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) comforted the refugee women and children,” he noted.
For those who don’t know, the Duchess of Edinburgh has been working to eradicate sexual abuse against women in war zones for over a decade.
In 2019, she traveled to 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 visit Ukraine, where she met President Volodymyr Zelensky and First Lady Olena Zelenska and worked to end wartime sexual violence.
