Kate Middleton has found ‘mentor’ in Duchess Sophie

Kate Middleton has found a great mentor in Sophie Wessex.

The Princess of Wales, who was also an outsider in the Royal Family like Sophie, leaned on the Duchess of Edinburgh with initial tips.

Royal commentator Emily Andrews explained: “When she saw younger members marrying into the Royal Family, like Catherine Middleton and Meghan Markle, she was very happy to offer to be a mentor of sorts. Sophie had seen it all. She’s been there and done that.”

“Sophie is really a natural mentor for Kate in many ways,” royal correspondent Victoria Murphy added. “We’ve seen their relationship grow over time, and witnessed little glimpses of it in the public domain.”

Victoria continued: “We’ve seen her be quite protective of Kate. We saw this at the Remembrance Sunday Service in 2024 when they were walking back inside and Sophie put a comforting hand on Kate’s back."

“It was quite a sisterly gesture, and I think shows the depth of the relationship that these two women have,” she added.
