00:21 [Music]
00:24 Prince Edward, the Queen's youngest son, and the Countess of Wessex have conducted many interviews this year
00:30 and made a number of public appearances, while Sophie has also been seen on multiple occasions with her mother-in-law around Windsor.
00:38 [Music]
00:42 Sophie's marriage with Edward and close-knit family is considered important for the future of the monarchy in a time of relative upheaval.
00:49 [Music]
00:52 All three of Edward's older siblings divorced in the 90s while the Earl and Countess of Wessex have been married since 1999.
01:00 [Music]
01:03 Sophie is reportedly a favorite of the monarch and has emerged as a reliable source of support for the Queen.
01:09 [Music]
01:12 According to royal aides the relationship between the Countess and the Queen is even comparable to Her Majesty's bond with her closest family members.
01:20 [Music]
01:24 One royal aide told the Daily Mail in 2018, "She talks to Sophie in the way she used to talk to Princess Margaret."
01:31 [Music]
01:35 Sophie has filled a terrible gap in the Queen's life that was left when her sister and the Queen Mother died in 2002.
01:42 [Music]
01:45 Another aide added, "She is like another daughter to Her Majesty, they are that close."
01:50 [Music]
01:54 The Queen's sister Margaret was a close confidante to the Queen and a celebrated socialite in her youth.
02:00 [Music]
02:03 However, a heavy smoker for most of her adult life, she had a lung operation in 1985,
02:09 a bout of pneumonia in 1993 and suffered at least three strokes between 1998 and 2001.
02:16 [Music]
02:19 She died in February 2002, aged 71, after having a final stroke.
02:25 The Queen Mother died seven weeks after the death of her daughter at the age of 101.
02:30 [Music]
02:33 On the eve of her funeral the monarch addressed the nation in a rare television interview,
02:38 thanking the public for their outpouring of support, and recounted the Queen Mother's "infectious zest for life."
02:44 [Music]
02:48 Of course, royal experts have also claimed the void in the Queen's life filled by Sophie is much reciprocated.
02:54 [Music]
02:58 Richard Kaye and Geoffrey Levy wrote in the Daily Mail,
03:01 "Touchingly, the Queen is doing much the same for Sophie, whose mother Mary died aged 71, in 2005,
03:08 by making sure that the Countess's father, Christopher, is included on the invitation list to many royal family events."
03:15 [Music]
03:19 The Queen and the Countess also share a fascination with military history.
03:23 Sophie loves listening to the Queen talk about great historical events,
03:28 and the pair are sometimes gone for hours, poring over ancient documents in the royal archives,
03:33 which are kept at Windsor Castle.
03:35 [Music]
03:39 When Sophie visited the World War I and World War II battlefields and cemeteries in France,
03:44 she told the Queen all about what she had seen and what she felt.
03:48 [Music]
03:52 A royal expert also told Express.co.uk that Sophie was a stable influence for the Queen
03:58 when she lost her husband, Prince Philip on April 9.
04:01 [Music]
04:05 Marlene Koenig said, "She's got superstar qualities without the flashing light bulbs."
04:10 [Music]
04:14 "She's been a stable influence, and doesn't need the fuss.
04:17 She's learned what it means to be a member of the royal family and support the sovereign and she does very well."
