Prince William and Kate Middleton honour Sophie’s milestone 60th birthday
Prince William and Kate Middleton joined the celebrations for Duchess Sophie’s 60th birthday by sharing a thoughtful public message to mark the occasion.
The Prince and Princess of Wales posted their tribute on social media, writing, “Wishing The Duchess of Edinburgh a very happy 60th birthday today!” accompanied by a red balloon and cake emoji.
This message followed an earlier tribute from Buckingham Palace, where King Charles honoured Sophie with never-before-seen photos and recognition of her dedication to royal duties.
Sophie, the wife of Prince Edward, has played an increasingly prominent role in the royal family, especially after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down from senior royal positions and relocated to the US. Her close bond with William and Kate has reportedly strengthened, as the Waleses value her unwavering support and loyalty.
RadarOnline reports suggest that King Charles is planning to elevate Sophie’s role within the monarchy, acknowledging her significant contributions. Furthermore, Prince William is said to have big plans for Sophie and Edward’s children, Lady Louise and Viscount James, potentially paving the way for their increased involvement in royal duties.
The heartfelt messages and recognition underscore Sophie’s growing importance in the royal family as she continues to take on a more prominent role in King Charles’s reign.
