An inside tells Closer Magazine: “Sophie is so well-loved by everyone in the family. No one has a bad word to say about her, which makes her very well-positioned to help Meghan and Harry.”

“It’s a delicate situation, so it has to be done in baby steps, and right now she’s testing the waters with various members of the Firm, trying to get a feel for how she could help to heal this rift,” they added.

“It’s no secret that Charles wants a truce between these four and Sophie on a mission to make it happen.” the insider says.

“Sophie’s word carries a lot of weight, so the hope is that she can make some headway with arranging a meet-up between Kate and Meghan. She’ll need William’s stamp of approval, which is going to be an uphill battle, but she insists she’s up for the challenge,” they noted.
