The Duke of Kent’s daughter-in-law Sophie Winkleman has just sat down for an interview that exposes the reality of life behind the palace walls for the Windsors, including King Charles, Prince William and the rest of their extended families.
For those who don’t know, Winkleman married Prince and Princess Michael of Kent’s son, Lord Frederick Windsor, in 2009 and has two daughters with him, namely Maud and Isabella.
She also had a background in the theater world, with shows like Two and a Half Men, Peep Show, and This is Going to Hurt under her belt.
The interview where she exposed all this happened with The times and sees her admit: “The more I know about the royal family, the more I understand that their lives are total hell and that this level of unasked-for fame is a form of torture. »
In her own words, she even adds: “None of them went on Pop Idol or something to be famous. Having that kind of blinding spotlight on your face since you were born, not really knowing who you can trust, not knowing if someone is going to betray you, people writing lies about you all the time, is just brutal.
Therefore, “I feel for all of them,” she added before signing off, and “I don’t think a life with so much scrutiny and pressure is healthy, but they don’t have a choice.”
