A few weeks ago, the Duchess of Edinburgh carried out a solo foreign visit to Zambia. She highlighted conservation work being done along the Zambezi River, and she took a boat ride. The royal trip barely got any attention, and few British outlets carried the photos of Sophie and the elephants. That’s the way it is with Sophie and her husband Prince Edward – they travel regularly on behalf of the Firm, they never get much attention, and then their reward for working in almost complete silence is that, every six months or so, Sophie the PR whiz organizes an embiggening article about how she’s “a pair of safe hands” for the monarchy. “Safe hands” is not the same thing as “people not realizing she exists,” but don’t tell Sophie that. Well, the Mail’s Becky English wrote up another big piece about how Sophie is truly the best royal ever.
Sophie could write the royal manual! If anyone could write the manual on how to be royal, it would surely be the Duchess of Edinburgh. A former PR executive before she married Prince Edward, Sophie has an instinctive understanding of image and presentation. Yet her greatest strength may be her ability to make royal duty look effortless, loyal, hardworking and, crucially, unshowy. As the royal soap opera intensifies this week with the publication of Earl Spencer’s new book, Swan Song, and the Sussexes back on British soil, Sophie has appeared to float serenely above the drama, carrying out a five-day solo tour of Zambia.
Rebecca English on Sophie’s whole vibe: ‘Over the years Sophie has quietly set about cultivating a group of charitable patronages that she feels strongly about and, as a result, her personal passion shines through… The issue of sexual violence is something she has learnt more about during the course of her official travels and has led her to becoming a passionate advocate against it on the world stage. I’ve seen her give a seven-minute off-the-cuff speech on the issue, without any notes on the subject. She was seriously impressive.’
Former royal aide Alisa Anderson-Cole chimes in: ‘While all the drama is going on over the arrival in the UK by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the explosive publication of Earl Spencer’s new book, the Duchess of Edinburgh is putting duty before self, representing the UK on a solo visit to Zambia,’ she says. Even the non-arrival of her luggage was handled with characteristic good humour. ‘Typically, steadfast and unwavering in her support of the charities close to her heart, she coped with the non-arrival of her luggage by laughing it off and carrying on with engagements in her travel gear. Who could not smile watching her unselfconsciously dance with local women who have been treated for serious eye conditions? She is not afraid to show her fun side while promoting incredibly important issues like gender equality, education and nature. Once again she has proved what a huge asset she is to the King and the monarchy.’
The future of the monarchy: With King Charles due to turn 78 in November, the future of the monarchy is inevitably becoming more prominent. For Prince William, the crown is now within sight, even if his accession remains some way off. No one can know exactly what William’s reign will look like, but one thing is clear – Sophie has established herself as one of the monarchy’s most dependable figures. She could therefore become an increasingly important member of the Royal Family in the years ahead, a woman who understands that duty is as much about the unglamorous engagements as the glittering ones.
Practical Sophie: ‘Members of the Duchess’s circle have also often told me over the years about how much they value her friendship and loyalty,’ says Rebecca English. ‘And they rave about how “seriously practical” she is. One told me how they had spent the entire weekend trying to get their new oven to work. She came over, grabbed the instructions and had it working within minutes.’
English on how King Charles views his sister-in-law: ‘She and Edward are actually very sweet together,’ she says. ‘Although even I was surprised to hear her say, as they marked their 25th wedding anniversary, that she still fancied him in a uniform. That definitely wasn’t on my royal bingo chart! Along with Louise and James, they are a lovely little family unit. I know the King sees Sophie very much as a safe pair of hands and her growing closeness with the Princess of Wales will only go to strengthen the family in the future.’
It’s PR by rote, just spending an entire decade emphasizing the same talking points, using the exact same words, over and over again. Well, Sophie did change up one thing – when QEII was alive, Sophie always told people that she was QEII’s favorite, and that they had a very special bond. Sophie even told people that the Queen wanted Sophie to get more attention! Funny, isn’t it? Even funnier is that Sophie feels like has to be deliberately “unshowy” because King Charles is a petulant and jealous man who throws tantrums whenever anyone else gets attention. But even if Sophie waltzed around in provocative clothing, making political statements and attending high-profile events constantly, she still wouldn’t get that much attention?

I guess Peggy, whos been screaming to Harry for ages, “Africa is mine!” just gave Africa to Sophie.
Back when he left the army, Harry claimed he was going to move to Botswana and make a career preserving wildlife. Whatever happened to that?
My ambitions as a younger woman changed as the years rolled by, especially after I met my husband and had a child. I wouldn’t be surprised if Harry’s goals, ambitions, and interests have evolved as he’s gotten older.
Who cares? Life happens.
Sophie is doing what Kate should be doing but lacks ability. The press are deliberately under reporting Sophie’s work in order not to upset W&K.
Yeah, ‘unshowy’ and ‘invisible’ are not synonyms. But if I have trouble with a kitchen appliance, I’ve got her on speed dial!
Unshowy and unvisible are not by choice, for Sophie. And she is walking on eggs when she is seen: she wouldn’t want to king or his heir against her and Andrew!
I also want to say that Sophie’s top and her styling on these pics are nice – i hate to say it but I like it. It looks natural, like a real human put it together.
It is a nice outfit, although to my eyes it doesn’t look practical for a safari. Then again, she doesn’t have to do her own laundry.
The only interesting thing about these photos is the elephant.
Nice job, if you can get it.
I actually had already wanted to make a version of this comment (down to fact that it is frequently mentioned here that Sophie is good at her work… I’d add to that the King’s Trust is also usually seen as quite an effective charitable body) on the Kate at the farm story but the window passed. essentially what I try to say a lot and a way I want to encourage members of this community to see things, if they are fans of the Sussexes and want the environment to change – 1. the arena is the UK 2. the true adversaries are not rival standoms (inc William’s and Kate’s) , it’s the mainstream British press and establishment and 3. The British public do not really care about what the royals and establishment characterise as ‘royal duty’ .
Under those circumstances you don’t even have to argue that Sophie or Kate aren’t as good as doing ‘duty’ as Meghan and Harry. Meghan and Harry are better for the simple reason that They. Cost. The. British. Taxpayer. Nothing.
The worst of course are media who do only care about the soap opera but use the idea that the family serve some other purpose, and have an obligation to the UK Taxpayer, to explain the entitled nosiness and commodification of the family and their lives and the media also use this supposed important duty as a way to judge them ‘good’ or ‘bad’ as needed *for the soap*.
Looking at it from this angle, Sophie is still surplus to me? The fact that the work she does isn’t widely known suggests to me that a non Taxpayer-funded-royal ie a normal public figure like, I dont know, Angelina (name checked for exactly this? ) could do the same thing? And Angelina pays for herself. And having an Angelina doesn’t require making a mockery of concepts of meritocracy and she isn’t shielded from transparency and accountability (like cough cough for her outriders).
I’m happy that Sophie is good at her job but that doesn’t justify her position. She started out in the private sector and got caught out doing stuff which would have had Meghan hung drawn and quartered if she’d done the same. And she’s also, like, a civilian??? If Kate were also good at engagements and causes then all that would do is prove that Royalty itself is not necessary and we can just find nice keen as mustard middle class gels to do the same thing. Unless we are saying that Sophie is effective because she has a title as well as being knowledgable and engaged? Again, good for Sophie but I’m a British Taxpayer and IMO my countryfolk might care about these causes in the abstract but not enough to pay what Sophie costs for this work. I am yet to be convinced that a variety of cheaper people, or those who earned their position by study or work, could not do the same. I actually think my countryfolk would claim they didn’t care about these causes or the UK being any kind of leader in them if I’m being honest. Right now the UK is a long way from the tolerant and brave upholder of human rights and international law it once styled itself AFAIC. Harry’s in a different situation but not because he’s better at duty or causes, just because support for military is always baked in…
The question I’d ask is not ‘does Sophie do a good job?’ but ‘is the good she does worth what she costs the UK public and the privileges and protections?’
Mind you, I’ve always wanted to say to the reporters who try to sell us on her (on the basis that she is neither Meghan or Camilla usually) that it’s taken her until this age to be what they consider a MVP so surely they should leave Meghan and Harry alone, to check back on them in about 15 years, and not bring up anything from these first few decades of their marriage, as well. Sophie’s is a redemption story, IMO. Not about hitting the ground running and ‘not putting a foot wrong’ . From a moral point of view I’d be more impressed if she self-funded. She’s good at a worthy job but she’s also being paid to be, unlike eg Angelina…
💯 agree
How long has she and Kate know each other and they are STILL just becoming close???
What a ridiculous family.
My thought too. They’ve known each other for 19 years.
The issue is she does do pretty meaningful work, but it will never be covered, which in turn, makes her and Edward a really bad deal for the British people and government. She and Edward are also a cautionary tale that if you ever try to live a life outside the crown, you will be put in your place and realize that to be happy, you need to serve the crown quietly and the press will call you a “safe pair of hands” or a “good egg” and you will leave no real mark.
I’m sorry but this isn’t true at all. I wrote my own comment below, but Sophie is an extremely good deal for the UK government. I would say probably the best of the Royals by far. The UK government has labeled itself at the UN and in international relations as the leader nation on conflict-related sexual violence. Research the Foreign Office’s Preventing Sexual Violence Initiative (started by William Hague with support from Angelina actually way back in the day), the PSVI International Alliance (an organization of countries focused on sexual violence in conflict founded by the UK), and their Special Envoy to the UN on sexual violence in conflict.
Yes, what Sophie “does” is not covered by mainstream media, but neither is anything I just mentioned above. And it’s actually the real work of the UK government and what matters. The Alliance inaugural Global Conference was opened by Sophie. She’s a very, very big deal in this area and the UK government very much relies on her to be the face of all these initiatives. I can promise you that if the UK government wants to for example get Nadia Murad for some initiative (the Nobel Peace Prize laureate and Yadzidi victim of sexual slavery and violence), it is Sophie who has her on speed dial and will do the intro or “discussion” with Nadia.
Thank you for calling this to our attention.
It’s too bad the press didn’t. I had no idea she was doing this. Worthless main stream media, just worthless.
Well, then, the UK government should hire her in an official capacity and give her a salary commensurate with the value and importance of her services, so that she can stop having to suck up to Charles and William for her daily bread.
I could not stop laughing at the article. Kaiser, it’s almost as funny as you!
Lazy and boring is what they mean, with truly atrocious dress sense.
Seems she got in the GLP-1 train. She lost a lot of weight.
If Sophie’s so great why doesn’t the press cover her more?
For fear of her upstaging and upsetting W&K.
Was this written by AI?
It sounds like the spiel you’d expect to read about a holiday resort or a restaurant.
‘A former PR executive before she married Prince Edward, Sophie has an instinctive understanding of image and presentation.’
I’ve got it! It’s the little blurbs they have with the pages of ads at the back of Vogue. ‘Sophie is a swimwear brand for ladies who know their worth and value their individuality.’
Run it through copyleaks and you’ll
likely get your answer. Copyleaks is what we use at my university to detect AI use. It’s not perfect, but it’s pretty dang good at picking up phrases only an AI would use.
This almost reads like a criticism of Kate, like Sophie is everything Kate isn’t.
As in, Sophie would have the good sense to not have creased semi-transparent linens on a fold up card table for a tea party?
Well that, but also the part about being hardworking, unshowy, passionate about her patronages and having the ability to speak knowledgeably about a subject.
I think that this is the kind of stuff that English would love to say about Kate (polished, professional, can speak on a topic without notes for minutes on end!) but cannot. It’s like English is using this rather innocuous article about Sophie to get some digs in.
That’s the only way I can explain the section about Edward! They are actually very sweet” is not a resounding endorsement, but I fell on the floor at Sophie apparently declared “as they marked their 25th wedding anniversary, that she still fancied him in a uniform.” What uniform? Edward didn’t serve in uniform, not even symbolically. I believe he did not even finish the training. So the only “uniform” we could talking about here are the ceremonial ones brought out for pompous occasions like Trooping the colour. This comment is either bizarre or a mean dig on English’s part.
I didn’t even catch that, but you’re right! Edward quit the Royal Marines, which caused a big stink long ago. Any uniform he wears now is going to be stolen valor. Or, I suppose, English totally made up that stupid quote because really, was she with Sophie & Edward on the occasion of their 25th anniversary?
Yes, praising Sophie like this is def a veiled criticism of Kate’s lack of work. The media can’t come outright and say it, so they say it like this.
Exactly
Is it really highlighting conservation efforts if no one is paying attention?
Why wasn’t she traveling with a carry on bag of her first outfits? I understand she probably had several outfits for each day so I wouldn’t expect she would only travel with a carry on, but come on—what poor planning!
I’ve written here about this many times, sorry for the repetition, but my work is about conflict-related sexual violence and I have seen Sophie in more contexts than I can count. She is extremely serious and knowledgeable on the topic and is no-fuss and extremely supportive. I know this site has its own purpose, this is a gossip blog. I get it. But, while it’s true that the Royal Rota doesn’t cover Sophie’s work that is not a criticism of her imo but of them. They are not real journalists and they don’t cover real topics. Sophie may not get mainstream media coverage, but in my field she is VERY well known, VERY high profile, and VERY respected. The Royal Rota would not cover a meeting with the UN Secretary-General’s special representative on sexual violence in conflict and wouldn’t know who that is, but that doesn’t mean that’s not actually one of the most important posts and people working on this issue. I can only say that the UK government benefits immensely in terms of recognition as a leader on this issue because of Sophie’s work. Again, I mean that in terms of people who actually work on the issue of sexual violence in conflict. Not the general public.
I haven’t seen any of your previous posts, so I’m glad you chimed in this morning. News to me — at least Sophie brings something substantial to the table, unlike Princess Keen.
I would say that, in my work, Sophie is unique. There are no other Royals (meaning not UK) or celebrities that do anything close to what she does. There are many First Ladies, Royals (in the Middle East for example) and celebrities who have as their “brand” or non-profit work “shining a spotlight on sexual violence in conflict”. There are many, many. So many, you can trip over them, frankly. And none of them are a constant presence and they all show up for maybe 1-2 things, but their engagement is not of substance. Hosting fundraisers, doing a “tour” of a refugee camp, hosting a lunch with a survivor. I’m not poo-pooing this kind of thing, it has its role and serves a function. But, Sophie is completely different. She goes to conferences, speaks on panels, she’s respected as a part of the community.
If Kate did for “Early Years” what Sophie does in terms of CRSV, that would be extraordinary. She doesn’t of course. The only comparison to Sophie is Harry with Invictus and veteran’s rehabilitation issues. Harry is very respected on this topic. It’s his “work” and it’s much more than the Games. Invictus makes a real difference with countries, just as an example, announcing new funding and facilities for veterans as a part of their membership. It’s a big part of why I respect Harry so much. And to be honest, Sophie is very similar. When she highlights an issue, governments actually sign up to do things about it. She has that credibility. She’s not going to solve CRSV and ultimately the issues around conflict-related sexual violence require leadership that goes beyond what Sophie can bring herself. But, she is impactful because she is so knowledgeable and engaged. And I think that’s very unusual in terms of how celebrities (Royal or otherwise) usually operate.
That is nice to know- thank you!
Sophie chose not to comment on matters concerning the very issue she chooses to highlight. She can’t pretend to raise conflict-related sexual violence when the source of it in large comes from the very institution she benefits. What is her stance on that? I remember when she chose to speak out about the Sussexes but commented about not saying anything concerning Andrew. Sophie loses credibility she is a walking contradiction, her stance is to gain attention for herself and not much else.
The source of conflict-related sexual violence does not come from the institutions Sophie is a part of or benefits from. That is not true at all.
Thanks for this insight @LadyE. I have seen your posts about Sophie’s work before but I think your points are worth repeating. Sophie seems to do real actual work whether or not cameras are on her and while I think its a shame that this work isn’t covered more – do we really want to see an article from Richard Eden talking about these topics?
lol yeah that’s also a part of it, though. So, the UK PSVI actually funded the creation of the Murad Code (developed by Nadia Murad’s NGO), which is a set of guidelines and best practices for interactions with survivors of conflict-related sexual violence. It’s for not just lawyers and practitioners, but donors, journalists, artists, etc. It’s an extraordinary resource that highlights problematic practices in all these adjacent fields that interact with CRSV, but aren’t focused on CRSV or what a survivor-centred approach means in practice. A lot of well intentioned media coverage unfortunately is retraumatizing and can even endanger survivors within their home communities in terms of stigma and discrimination. Under the Do No Harm principle, I would hope that any member of the Royal Rota speaking with a survivor had been trained on the Murad Code. I certainly would not be excited to see Richard Eden writing about CRSV, or any member of the Royal Rota. I’m not saying they never could or that it would always be negative, but I don’t think the sensitivity or baseline knowledge is there for them to handle this topic.
Too bad she wasn’t competent enough to treat Meghan nicely and joined the mean girls club.
Sophie is not covered by the media for one simple reason which is they don’t want to upset W&K
This does feel like a very paint-by-numbers puff piece from Becky English, which is to be expected. Dwell on any of the details and things start to unravel quickly!
For example, the issue of sexual violence “is something she has learnt more about during the course of her official travels”? Since she’s travelling in Zambia, it’s implied that Sophie, an adult woman, learned about this issue in Africa. And don’t worry, now that she knows about it, she’s totally against it! She can give a seven minute speech against it without a script! Now, does English quote any of those passionate speeches to illustrate her point and remind her readers about the very real issue of sexual assault being minimized or normalized, or that rape is an ongoing weapon of war? Of course not, but never fear, Sophie’s words are “seriously impressive”. Take Rebecca’s word for it. I say this not to diminish what may well be Sophie’s serious interest, but to point out that in order to get any coverage from the tabloids, she is forced to hide it.
I think I got stuck on this bit because it’s so jarring next to the tone of the rest of the article, which is basically selling “unglamorous, dependable” Sophie to future king William. Her selling points are that she’s low cost, she’ll do the jobs he doesn’t want (i.e. travel outside of the home counties), and she’ll never steal his spotlight. He’ll barely even notice her! That’s a promise. English hilariously even makes a direct appeal to William, just in case her writing was too subtle.
In a way, the way she writes about Sophie is kind of the way I imagine she would like to write about Kate.
This is immaterial to her work, to whatever degree recognized, but that outfit pictured seems like the first time things seemed right for her, flattering and relaxed, even the colours are good.
It’s as if trying to look “royal” squeezes the life out of all these women.
I had the same exact reaction about her outfit!
This is the first time I’m hearing about Sophie’s work with survivors of sexual violence and she’s to be commended if indeed she plays such a pivotal role. But why — oh, why — don’t they cover her work in this crucial space if it is as compelling as it should be? Why the inane nitwit brigade stamping out the beat of a haplessly obvious PR campaign? I mean. If Sophie wants to make a difference, she does need to present herself in a way that allows her work to take the reflected glory of her royal presence. Sarcasm included. Whereas it seems like she’s hopped on an issue that many people find agonising, in much the same way that Camilla latched onto sexual assault and domestic violence — not to help victims, not to raise awareness, but to boost her profile.
I am just speculating, I have zero knowledge of how these things operate within the Royal/government division of media coverage. But, I have seen Sophie more times than I can count at events related to sexual violence in conflict and I have never seen a member of the Royal Rota. Not once. I’ve never heard of them asking to talk to survivors or activists in this space either. Doesn’t mean it hasn’t happened, but I’ve never even heard a peep about it and I think I would have. My theory is that it is because Sophie’s work is not on behalf of the Royal family, it’s for the UK Foreign Office. It’s actual government work that she supports. This isn’t charity or non-profit work, it’s settings where government officials (and civil society and survivors) gather to discuss and advocate about government funding, priorities, and foreign affairs. I’ve never seen anyone from the Royal Rota at the UN, for example, at the UN Security Council open session on Sexual Violence or any of the side events.
@LadyE: given what you said above about the Murad Code, I think it’s just as well the rota rats don’t get anywhere near this subject–they’ve never shown any indication at being able to work according to a code of standards.
And thank you for all your work, even down to enlightening those of us who enjoy a gossip site. I’ve learned a lot.
The royal reporters (rota) are just gossip columnists, right?
If she’s doing the hard work on the inside and whether the Foreign Office doesn’t want to use her as the “public face” of its work on this topic, and/or Buckingham Palace chooses to steer clear of something it likely deems (cough) “controversial,” then it’s their call. She can do purposeful and non-conventionally “royal” work and at the same time enjoy the privileges of her marriage to Edward.
She and Edward got the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh title and they live in that huge mansion (Bagshot something?). What more do these two want? She married the last kid of QEII, she was never going to get much attention compared to King Charles the heir and his descendants.
I don’t think I knew Sophie did work on sexual violence and I commend her for it. It’ll never be covered by the mainstream media but I’m sure the organizations she works with appreciate her support. If anything, Kate could learn a thing or two from her on her commitment. But Sophie needs to understand the media is never going to cover her the way Kate and Meghan are covered. These talking points about her being reliable and boring are well… very reliable and boring! We can always rely on briefs from her about how reliable and boring she is.
I think it was Liz jones that described sophie best , I think she referred to her as the one married to Edward that she couldn’t remember her name . I need to go back and check how she described her . Good old sophie who .
I’m familiar with Sophie’s work with eye car and conflict related sexual violence. She does a lot of solo international trips in relation to these two issues. If the RR covered her seriously and high-lighted her work, then she would likely show up how unimpactful Kate and William are. I think it certainly shows that the government trusts her. She seems to travel to Africa a fair bit too. This Zambia trip was covered “exclusively” by Hello magazine, I believe, which is a gossip magazine. Sophie does some real work in her areas of interest, beyond the bread and butter things that the royals make a big show of as “work.” But the RR is not interested in high-lighting issues- they prefer gossip, conflict, and drama. On the other hand, Sophie appears to be tactless and graceless as well as mean. Consider her behaviour toward Meghan during Elizabeth II’s funeral and her “Oprah who” comment. I think in William’s reign she will become the Princess Anne figure, doing lots of events and leaving Kate to do “only the things that bring her joy.”
Ugh. That’s all I’ve got 🙂 She hates Meghan for no reason at all and is just as nasty and mean as the others.
Precisely. I lost respect for her then.
I will say her hair looks good in that header photo.
First she copied Diana for relevancy and now she sucks up to Kkkhate and kind of Imitate her style and facial work (specially the new eyes /)
Work ? What work . Looks very much like when any of us travel ..only she is carted around like a potted plant with zero effort. We dont hear her speeches ..and i seriously doubt if she writes her own . Just a pre programmed puppet who knows which side her bread is buttered . When push comes to shove , Sarah, Sophie ,Eugenie , Beatrice, their stupid spouses will drop the Sussex side like a hot potato . With zero charisma, they need the royal tag and connections to be able to keep their grace and favour homes and privileges
.Even darling Zara hasnt struck out on.her own and still lives with her lout on Princess Anne’s estate , however much she pretends to have dropped her titles. All about the money honey
Cannot believe how crumpled and boring Sophie looks in these pictures . What value does she bring through her taxpayer funded trips . Zilch .
Loves her man in a Uniform? She loves a man who Cosplays a military man. No military service for Edward.
Royal duty should be ‘effortless, loyal, hardworking and, crucially, unshowy.’ Has someone told Kate that? I mean, she’s got the effortless part down–as in, she makes zero effort to do anything–but the rest of it? Miss head to toe in gold for a movie premiere? She of the lopsided tiaras?
Agreed @BeanieBean I find it interesting that Kate is never compared to Camilla as they are and were married to PoW?
She does like to sport a little black leather, from time to time, though. She’s one of the few Royals who lower themselves to talk to beckbeck….she must have to shower afterwards
Huh?
I’m old enough to remember Prince Edward attempting to get into films/documentaries and he and his wife getting into trouble with some of their endeavors. He was Prince Harry before Prince Harry. Prince Edward decided to toe the line. I often wonder if Prince Harry took some council from his uncle when he made the decision to go the other way?
As long as Sofiesta is one of the family members who make a point of snubbing Meghan (in a house of worship, no less!), I find that I DGAF about this moocher. The only perceived advantage or position that Sophie has on Meghan is her whiteness…and most of us don’t care about that nonsense.
