Sophie Wessex's eight-word remark when she's quizzed on 'stepping up' for King Charles


Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, who has been a working royal for over 20 years and has often represented King Charles at official engagements, was questioned about "stepping up"

Both Prince Edward and his wife Sophie, 59, are consistently carrying out their engagements and charity visits across the country with little fanfare, extending their efforts amidst both the monarch and Princess of Wales' cancer treatments which has kept them away from public functions for now. The duo will review troops this afternoon at the Changing of the Guard in the palace forecourt, where, for the first time ever, French soldiers will join the ceremony alongside their British colleagues. The event has been arranged to commemorate the 120th anniversary of the Entente Cordiale, a monumental diplomatic accord between Britain and France that paved the way for their cooperative efforts in both world wars.
