When Kate stepped back from public life following her cancer diagnosis, Sophie - mum to Lady Louise and James, Earl of Wessex, was the first to take on some of her engagements. 'That sort of pragmatism, a genuine desire to help and support someone who has been knocked off kilter, is pure Sophie,' says a senior royal source. 'It really helped William and Kate, obviously in a practical way, but also knowing Sophie could always be relied upon to give her support whenever it was needed.'

The warmth of her gesture displayed not just the comfort from a family member, but also the empathy of a compassionate friend. Sophie and Prince Edward's royal romance When Sophie met Edward in 1987 she was a PR for Capital Radio, but it was six years before they started dating. They then began a romance in earnest, but went to great lengths to avoid photographers, especially when Sophie began staying overnight at Edward's three-room apartment in Buckingham Palace. When calling Sophie at her office, the Prince would use the name Richard — not that he fooled her colleagues for long. Six years after they started going out, Edward proposed, with a £105,000 ring from Crown jewellers Garrard. Starting a family was not straightforward. In 2001 Sophie suffered an ectopic pregnancy. In 2003, the birth of daughter Louise was similarly dramatic. The baby was a month premature and Sophie lost nine pints of blood, had a caesarean and was in hospital for 15 days. In 2007 she had another caesarean giving birth to son James.
