With so many reports indicating that Sophie Wessex has always been this popular and well-received within the royal family, one can only wonder why it’s taken the public this long to notice.
In fact, there’s a new report that says that not only Queen Elizabeth regards Sophie as one of her favorite daughters-in-law, but apparently Prince Philip is a big fan of Prince Edward’s wife, too.
Here’s what you need to know.
Prince Philip Is A Big Fan Of Sophie Wessex Too
Sophie, Countess of Wessex first joined the royal family back in 1999, but only started making major headlines this year and especially since the coronavirus lockdown. While some say that Sophie is the new media darling of the royal family to help fill the void that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left after Megxit, others are saying that the Countess has always been this charming and well-liked. The reason why no one has noticed this before is simply that she’s not the kind of royal who likes to be in the limelight.
With that said, there’s a new report that says Sophie also has a solid connection with her father-in-law, Prince Philip. Apparently, Sophie won him over and the two of them built quite a close relationship according to body language expert Judi James.
James told Britain’s Express.co.uk in a new interview, “Prince Philip had notoriously tricky relationships with his other two daughters-in-law and his relationship with his third son, Edward, has been rocky at times too. For Sophie, this historic background could have seen her relationship with her often irascible father-in-law going one of two ways.”
Sophie And Prince Philip Share The Same Sense Of Humor
She added, “Either his wariness of a woman once described as ‘The new Diana’ when she first entered the Royal family could have led to an arms-length wariness, or she could have been welcomed as the royal bride who stuck it out and made it work. Over recent years it’s been clear that Sophie’s stoic approach has worked and even won over Prince Philip, who appears to relish being in her company almost as much as the Queen does.”
James also says that the two of them share the same sense of humor. She explained, “The Prince can be intimidating and he is known to not suffer fools gladly but the non-verbal signals here hint that he might just have met his match in Sophie. The pair look relaxed in one another’s a company and the way Philip points and turns his face towards Sophie wearing a wide, mischievous-looking grin while she looks forward wearing more of a deadpan expression suggests they have a bit of a comedy double-act going.”
