Duchess Sophie, renowned for her sharp wit, offered a succinct response when questioned about her expanding role within the royal family.

Known for her clever comebacks, she once delivered a brief yet sassy retort regarding her increased involvement in royal duties.

The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh have been garnering attention and admiration for their proactive stance in supporting King Charles amidst the significant responsibilities of the monarchy, especially following his cancer diagnosis earlier this year.

Today, the royal duo is set to represent the Sovereign at a momentous event taking place at the Grand Buckingham Palace.

This special occasion marks the 120th anniversary of the Entente Cordiale, a pivotal diplomatic agreement between Britain and France that paved the way for their collaboration during various world conflicts.

In a historic move, France will be the first non-Commonwealth nation to participate in the esteemed changing of the guard ceremony.

A symbolic demonstration of unity will unfold on the forecourt of Buckingham Palace in London, as members of the Gendarmerie’s Guard Republicaine and guardsmen from F Company Scots Guards march together, underscoring the strength of international alliances.

Although the King will be absent, Prince Edward and Duchess Sophie will graciously stand in his place.

Joining them will be distinguished figures such as the UK Chief of the General Staff, General Sir Patrick Sanders, the esteemed French Chief of the Army Staff, General Pierre Schill, and the respected French Ambassador to the UK, Hélène Duchene.

Reflecting on the year 2021, Sophie, a devoted working royal for twenty-five years, responded with a touch of sass when questioned about potentially assuming a more prominent role following recent changes in the royal family.

During an interview with the Telegraph, she quipped, “What did people think we were doing beforehand?”

The union of the Edinburghs occurred in June 1999, resulting in the birth of their two children, Lady Louise, now 20, and James, the Earl of Wessex, a 16-year-old young man.

Sophie’s significance within the royal family has been increasingly evident, with her unwavering support proving invaluable to the monarchy.

Affectionately referred to as the “secret weapon of the firm,” Sophie’s warm demeanor has endeared her to the public.

Not only did she share a close bond with Charles, but she also had a special relationship with the late Queen Elizabeth, whom she fondly called “Mama” during a heartfelt speech.

As we look forward to the upcoming event at Buckingham Palace, it is clear that the royal couple’s leadership and grace will shine brightly, embodying the enduring spirit of unity and collaboration.
