Who is Sophie, Countess of Wessex, and what is her relationship with Kate, the Princess of Wales?
Fox News
Sophie, Countess of Wessex, has been a strong figure in the British royal family since she married Prince Edward and had a close relationship with the queen.
Lori Bashian is an entertainment production assistant for Fox News Digital.
"There were constant comparisons of the women, and some royal watchers even accused Sophie of trying to ‘steal Princess Diana’s style,'" Schofield explained, adding that it was similar for Prince Andrew’s wife at the time — Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York.
Despite the initial struggles in winning the public over, the queen seemed to have accepted Sophie into the family with open arms and developed a very close relationship with her throughout the years. The queen would often refer to Sophie as her second daughter, and Sophie was the only non-blood relative at the queen’s side at Balmoral during the monarch’s final hours.
