According to some, the star of Queen Elizabeth‘s purported favorite daughter-in-law has really shined since Meghan fled the Firm.
Is Sophie Being Rewarded After Meghan And Harry Ditched The Monarchy In Its Time Of Need?
Sophie is married to the Queen’s youngest son Prince Edward and the public has seen her more than ever during the coronavirus pandemic crisis which has taken a toll on the royal family. Prince Charles himself has contracted and survived the virus and there is rampant speculation that Her Majesty will never return to public duties following her isolation period.
Royal Editor Chris Ship told ITV’s Royal Rota that Sophie reached a significant milestone recently and it signaled a key shift in how the palace views her. He is referring to an event in which Sophie Wessex was on her own, an event that individuals like himself were invited to by Buckingham Palace.
According to him this occasion was a sea change in the royal hierarchy and shows that Sophie Wessex is being counted on to fill the gaping hole in left by Harry and Meghan.

Has Sophie Wessex Been Promoted Within The Firm?
Ship added, “We don’t often cover the Countess of Wessex’s engagements on her own. It’s the only time I’ve covered Sophie on her own in the three years I’ve had this job.”
Because Buckingham Palace invited the attendees, he asked the question, “Are we to presume then that Buckingham Palace think Sophie’s profile is worth raising now?
To this question, ITV royal producer Lizzie Robinson replied, “There is a space left by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as working members of the royal family. The Countess of Wessex has done a lot of very good work with the charities and organizations she supports. With that space, there is an opportunity for the press to highlight the work she does.”
Sophie Wessex Impressed Many During Her Solo Engagement

Robinson was particularly impressed by the fact that Sophie drove herself to the event, “in an electric car. She was very down to earth. She makes people feel very at ease, she is very natural.”
“She is much more down to earth than the others. She had a job before she took up this role. There was real normality around her. She ran into people she goes to the gym during this pub visit.”
Of course, her prior work as a public relations pro cannot be underestimated in her ability to project whatever image she so chooses?
