Sophie Wessex future in Royal Family laid bare

Sophie Wessex is lauded for her services towards the Royal Family.

The Duchess of Edinburgh is branded a secret weapon by Royal insiders and promised a bright future as a senior Royal.

A source who knows her well The Sun: “Sophie is very keen to take on more work for the Royal Family. 

“Until now she has been a bit like Princess Anne — someone who has done a hell of a lot of travelling to engagements all over the world without any real fanfare

“The places she has gone to are often not very fashionable, to say the least, but she happily goes and gives each engagement her all because she knows she is representing the King. 

“The Duchess is very good at doing her own research for those engagements and writing her own speeches, as does the Duke. 

They noted: “I suspect that as she takes on more work for the family, Sophie will have to have more staff. 

“Because at the moment the Duke and Duchess only have one live-in member of staff at their home in Bagshot [Surrey], who doubles up as a personal secretary.”
