Princess Catherine paid a touching tribute to Duchess Sophie, acknowledging her unwavering support during her recent health challenges. The two royal women shared an emotional moment during the Remembrance Sunday Service, showcasing their close bond.
At the event, the Duchess of Edinburgh placed a comforting hand on Catherine, marking the Princess's return to public life after completing chemotherapy. Royal commentator Ingrid Seward described the gesture as deeply significant, telling Hello!: “That kind of support wasn’t something you would have seen a few years ago.”
Royal author Robert Jobson added, “That moment spoke volumes. The royal family has formed a protective bubble around Catherine.”
The Princess of Wales has reciprocated the support by honouring Sophie with a sisterly role in her life. “They have a bond like sisters, with Sophie stepping into the role of the older sibling Kate never had,” Seward shared.
Both women are admired for their caring and protective natures, particularly when it comes to their children. Sophie, as a mother navigating royal life, has offered invaluable understanding and private support to Catherine during her health journey.
This growing connection between the two women underscores the strength of their relationship, grounded in mutual respect and shared experiences within the royal family.
