Sophie, Countess of Wessex, has been branded as the peacemaker who is looking to improve relations between the Sussexes and the royals.
Sophie Countess Of Wessex Playing Peacemaker Trying To Help Sussexes Reconcile With Royals-‘She Understands’
It is no secret that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have not been on the best of terms with the firm. Their controversial interview on Oprah Winfrey, coupled with Meghan’s disclosures in ‘The Cut’ did not help matters.
This is particularly since the respective interviews coincided with the passing of Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth II. But it seems that Sophie could be the person to help improve relations given the parallels that she shares with Meghan.
Prior to coming into the Royal Family, Sophie worked in public relations at a successful level. This even included her working at none other than Capital Radio.
And given that Meghan was also someone that had a working career prior to marrying Harry, Sophie is the person who may understand what Meghan is feeling.
Ms Tominey, who happens to be a former aide to Sophie, had this to say: “That’s why she’s the Queen’s favourite daughter-in-law – she’s down to earth and just gets on with it.
“Like Meghan, she’s not only had a professional life before royalty but she also knows what it feels like to be vilified in the press. She understands what Harry and Meghan are going through.”
Nevertheless, this all depends on how Harry and Meghan proceed going forward. The public has shown more warmth towards them following the late monarch’s passing.
One mourner had even gone as far as hugging Meghan to let her know that she was welcome in the UK. Although that was the case, things could quickly turn again depending on how the Sussexes deal with the press publicly.
Time will tell how things play out, but if Sophie can have a positive impact, then that will surely be welcomed by everyone. So there you have it folks. What did you think about this? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
