Duchess Sophie Receives Generous Inheritance from Queen’s Will

Duchess Sophie has been given a staggering amount of three hundred and eighteen thousand dollars from the late Queen's last will, reportedly to displace Prince Harry in the royal apparatus.

According to reports, the Queen paid a one-off sum of 250,000 pounds to entice Sophie and her husband, Prince Edward, to give up their careers and become full-time working members of the royal family.

Sophie, whose birth name is Sophie Helen Rhys-Jones, received her education at various prestigious institutions such as Dorwich College Preparatory School, Kent College School for Girls, Pembrey, and West Kent College.

After completing her education, she pursued a career in public relations, even establishing her own PR agency, which she co-ran for five years after gaining experience at several firms.

The recent Channel 5 documentary, “Prince Edward: Will he change the Royals?,” has shed light on the extreme measures taken by the Queen to convince Sophie to abandon her PR career and embrace royal life.

Royal journalist Emily Andrews revealed that the Queen effectively asked Edward and Sophie to give up their careers and become full-time working royals.

As an incentive, the Queen compensated them with a substantial sum of 250,000 pounds.

Andrews also drew parallels between Sophie and Edward's situation and that of Meghan and Harry.

She highlighted how Sophie and Edward attempted to strike a balance between their royal duties and money-making careers, something Meghan and Harry ultimately couldn't achieve, leading them to resign from their royal positions and relocate to another country.

The Queen was left heartbroken and felt betrayed by their decision.

An insider shared that one of the Queen's final wishes was to include members of the monarchy who had made significant contributions and remained loyal to the institution as part of the main royal apparatus.

Sophie, with all her qualities, is said to be chosen to replace Meghan's position and will assume the title of Duchess of Edinburgh.

Royal correspondent Jenny Bond supported this decision, stating that it was necessary and had paid off, especially considering Meghan and Harry's popularity.

Sophie and Edward were long regarded as the Queen's favorites before her passing in September 2022.

Edward, being her only child who hadn't experienced a divorce, and his enduring marriage to Sophie brought great comfort to the Queen, who highly valued dedication and longevity.

Royal journalist and author Robert Jobson emphasized Sophie's unique position as an outsider who entered the family and learned on the job.

He noted that she is particularly favored by the Queen, evident from the fact that Sophie and Edward often extend their stays during family holidays and gatherings.

Recently, the Duchess of Edinburgh showcased her royal elegance as she joined her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, at a service in Westminster Abbey commemorating the NHS's 75th anniversary.

Sophie, aged 58, looked stunning in a pastel midi dress adorned with blooming peonies.

She chose Susanna London's Adela T dress in Paris pink, designed by one of her most trusted designers.
