Royal Family News: Sophie Wessex Is Considered INVALUABLE To The Monarchy

British royal family news shows that Sophie, Countess of Wessex’s royal star is shing brighter than ever and she is considered to be nothing less than “invaluable” to The Firm. As such royal watchers will not be surprised to see her presence and responsibilities grow over time.

In the Coming Years A Royal Expert Predicts a Bigger Role for Sophie

Sophie has spent years working behind the scenes and far from the limelight enjoyed by more aggressive royals such as Meghan Markle. She is also held in higher esteem overall, a fact apparent to royal commentators and fans.

Against this backdrop one royal watcher thinks that Sophie’s contribution to the Royal Family could still have enormous room to grow as both she and her husband Prince Edward have shown themselves to be solid and indeed “invaluable” to the Monarchy.

Sophie is believed to be very close to the Queen, who sees her “like another daughter” according to a source who spoke to The Sun in 2019.

Sophie and Edward Are Invaluable

Royal watcher Richard Fitzwilliams told Express.co.uk, “Although it is not expected that her children will carry out royal engagements, there is little doubt that her work and that of her husband Prince Edward, is invaluable. It is probable that, as there are now fewer working royals, it might increase in the years ahead. She is serious and committed and her favourable image and popularity reflect the success she has had in her royal role.”

Sophie Has Proven Her Worth

Royal sources describe Sophie as a “dedicated and hard-working” royal who is “always busy” but largely behind the scenes.

In 2020, after the coronavirus pandemic and the internal debacle wrought by the decision of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to flee the UK as senior royals, sources dubbed Sophie “the Royal Family’s secret weapon.” She earned the name for her quiet way of carrying on with her work without complaint.

Fitzwilliams said, “The Countess of Wessex has a fairly low public profile as a senior working member of the Royal Family, which is as she likes it. She does a very considerable amount of work, much of it under the radar. Her excellent relationship with the Queen is well known.”

“She has been a full-time member of the Royal Family since 2002 and is linked to over 70 charities and undertakes some 200 royal engagements a year.”
