Duchess of Edinburgh Strengthens Royal Ties with Congo Amid Increasing Public Praise
Duchess Sophie of Edinburgh has recently taken on significant responsibilities for the royal family, representing King Charles in a high-profile diplomatic meeting. On Monday, Sophie met with Thérèse Kayikwamba Wagner, the Minister of Foreign Affairs for the Democratic Republic of Congo, while the King recovered from his taxing flight back to the UK following his tour of Australia and Samoa.
During the meeting, Sophie reinforced her dedication to humanitarian causes, focusing on women, peace, and security in Congo and globally. Her discussion with Thérèse highlighted stories of resilient women, marking a strong commitment to international relations on behalf of the monarchy.
This is just one of many notable engagements Sophie has undertaken recently. In April, she became the first royal family member to visit Ukraine, and earlier this month, she was moved to tears while listening to the experiences of women in Chad. Her increasing involvement in royal duties has drawn praise, suggesting that her influence within the family could continue to grow into Prince William’s future reign.
