Sophie Wessex is feeling a sense of relief and satisfaction now that she no longer has to perform the traditional curtsy to Meghan Markle.
With her new title as the Duchess of Edinburgh, Sophie now holds a higher rank than the Duchess of Sussex and is no longer required to curtsy to her during their encounters.
A close friend of the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh shared with the Daily Mail that Sophie is pleased to be free from the obligation of curtsying to a family member who not only stepped away from royal duties but also openly criticized the institution that Sophie had dedicated herself to supporting wholeheartedly.
According to insights from a body language expert, since Prince Harry and Meghan departed the UK in 2020, it appears that Sophie has aligned herself away from Team Sussex.
Analyzing the body language dynamics between Harry, Meghan, and Sophie, a particular photograph from the Platinum Jubilee celebrations last year caught the attention of expert Judy James.
In the photo captured during the Thanksgiving service at St Paul’s Cathedral, Prince Andrew warmly greeted Harry and Meghan, while Sophie’s demeanor towards Harry seemed less welcoming, as noted by Judy.
Previously, Sophie was known for her calm, approachable body language, contrasting with Harry’s playful nature, showcasing a more relatable side of the royal family.
However, following Harry’s departure and his public disclosures from the US, Sophie’s body language indicates a clear stance against Team Sussex, contrary to expectations that her husband, Edward, would take a more reserved approach towards Harry while Sophie played a reconciliatory role.
Judy observed that Sophie’s recent behavior aligns with reports of her relief regarding her new title as the Duchess of Edinburgh, which exempts her from the customary curtsy to Harry and Meghan.
Known for her loyalty and deep sorrow over the passing of Prince Philip and the Queen, Sophie’s body language during significant events like the Platinum Jubilee celebrations and Prince Philip’s funeral displayed a more distant demeanor towards Harry.
During Prince Philip’s funeral, as Harry walked out alone and passed by Sophie and their daughter, Sophie’s lack of acknowledgment towards him was noted by the body language expert.
While Kate orchestrated a tactful interaction between Harry and William, Sophie’s response appeared indifferent, raising questions about the dynamics within the royal family.
The evolving dynamics within the royal family, as reflected in Sophie’s body language and actions, hint at a shift in allegiances and perceptions, especially in light of recent developments involving Harry and Meghan.
The subtle cues and gestures observed in public events shed light on the intricate relationships and tensions within the royal circle.
