This is Kate Middleton's relationship with Queen Elizabeth II's favorite daughter-in-law
The Duchess of Cambridge found in Sophie of Wessex the perfect inspiration to make a fundamental change in her responsibilities within British royalty.
It is no secret that Kate Middleton is already preparing for the day when she will have to fulfill her role as Princess of Wales and, later, as Queen Consort of the United Kingdom, but first she has to make some modifications in her role within the Royal family.
What does the Duchess of Cambridge have to change? Kate regularly accompanies Prince William on tour but at some point she will have to make those trips abroad alone and someone who has experience in the matter is Sophie Wessex.
"Like all engagements and appearances, it makes sense that Kate has to do some solo tours," said The Talko online magazine.
The website clarified that the Duchess of Cambridge already fulfills that important work of representation: "She went alone to the Netherlands for 24 hours and did a one-day tour of the United Kingdom, but the chances of doing solo trips more lengths are pretty good. "
Although this puts great pressure on Kate's shoulders, her closeness to Sophie of Wessex can be a great ally in such cases, as the Countess has made solo trips abroad for many years, as a first-rank member of the Royal family.
Queen Elizabeth II's favorite daughter-in-law has fulfilled a large number of duties abroad, as well as being a patron of various charities around the world, which means she can be the role model for Middleton, who, according to experts, he has a very close relationship with Sophie.
"For a long time there have been signs that Sophie is being quite motherly to Kate," body expert Judy James told the Express portal.
"Many of the poses of the two women together show Sophie checking Kate's face, they have strong eye contact suggesting that the Countess of Wessex is taking a semi-maternal approach," added Judy.
