Indeed, her work may often appear to slip under the radar beside the attention that accompanies other arguably more glamorous royals, but those who know her best will confirm the arrangement suits her modest personality. One aide revealed: “She’s never shied away from what was an obviously embarrassing episode at the time, but every day since she became a working member of the family she has worked tirelessly for each and every cause she is passionately involved in.” Sophie, who had only been married to Prince Edward for two years, issued a grovelling apology after embarrassingly being accused of using her royal connections to manage a £20,000-a-month PR account for a Saudi prince.
