Move aside Meghan because Sophie, Countess of Wessex has TAKEN New York by storm – What’s not to love about Sophie, Countess of Wessex? She’s a confidante to Her Majesty The Queen, she’s a true advocate for women’s rights, and she’s close to Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge.
Before the Sussexes left, Sophie and her husband, Prince Edward, were sitting on the edge of greatness. They weren’t exactly in the main royal circle, but they weren’t outside it either. After Harry and Meghan’s dramatic departure, the Wessexes stepped up to the plate and have succeeded in their plight.
Last year, the Sussexes did a “royal tour” of New York that went down like a lead balloon as it did not have a purpose. Then, there were Meghan’s oversized outfits and the camera crews. Let’s not forget that rumour that claims they were thrown out of the UN building because it was discovered they were wired with microphones.
Anyway, Sophie’s tour was far more successful with minimal fuss. She was there to do a job, not to perform. Also, the trip is why she did not attend the Commonwealth service. As it has been pointed out, there weren’t twenty security guards with guns guarding her. She probably had one bodyguard, but that’s it.
What people love about Sophie is the love she has for her job. She doesn’t pretend to be better than anyone else because she’s a Countess. Instead, she embraces people and gets to know them. She has been a royal for over twenty years and has known what it means to be royalty for almost thirty years. Moreover, Sophie is the embodiment of what it means to be a daughter-in-law of the Queen. No offence to Camilla, of course. In conclusion, Sophie and Edward’s popularity continues to rise high above.
