Royal Family

Are Sophie, Countess Of Wessex, And Prince Philip Besties?

 Sophie, Countess Of Wessex, And Prince Philip Sophie, Countess Of Wessex, And Prince PhilipSophie, Countess of Wessex, and her husband Prince Edward have been married for two decades, and in that period of time, her relationship with her royal in-laws has no doubt evolved. According to one royal watcher, her body language has actually shown a “revelation” with her in-laws.

Since joining the family, it has been said that Sophie is thought to have a close relationship with the queen, with some claiming that she is the queen’s favorite daughter-in-law.

Sophie And Edward Are Senior Working Royals And As Such Are Often Photographed With Other Members Of The Royal Family

According to body language expert Judi James, Sophie likely impressed the queen years ago. Speaking to the Express.co.uk, she said, “Sophie’s calm, unfussy and upbeat-looking body language and behavior seems to have impressed the Queen years ago and the pair are said to be close.”

“But it’s probably her relationship with Philip that is the real revelation in the family.” Why is it a revelation? Judi thinks that over time Sophie has become closer to Prince Philip.

Has Sophie Been Her In-Laws’ Favorite Daughter-In-LawAall Along?

After examining photos of the royals together, she thinks that Sophie and Philip have a genuine friendship.

Judi notes, “Prince Philip had notoriously tricky relationships with his other two daughters-in-law and his relationship with his third son, Edward, has been rocky at times too. For Sophie, this historic background could have seen her relationship with her often irascible father-in-law going one of two ways.”

“Either his wariness of a woman once described as, ‘The new Diana,’ when she first entered the royal family could have led to an arms-length wariness. Or she could have been welcomed as the royal bride who stuck it out and made it work.”

Let’s Hope That Sophie Doesn’t Fall Victim To The History Of The Past

But, to her credit, Sophie regularly appears at royal events and her approach to her role has been welcomed says, Judi.

“Over recent years, it’s been clear that Sophie’s stoic approach has worked and even won over Prince Philip, who appears to relish being in her company almost as much as the Queen does.”

Her evaluation of pictures reveals that “The poses suggest Prince Philip has a very high liking of his daughter-in-law that blends a sense of shared fun with a kind of down-to-earth mutual respect. The Prince can be intimidating and he is known to not suffer fools gladly but the non-verbal signals here hint that he might just have met his match in Sophie.”
