Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, doesn\u2019t usually chase the spotlight, but when it came to taking on one of Queen Elizabeth\u2019s old titles, she spoke up. The emotional weight of inheriting something that meant so much to the late Queen wasn\u2019t lost on her.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

She traveled to Bosnia and Herzegovina to mark the 30th anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide, and during the visit, she talked about what it felt like to take over the Duchess of Edinburgh title.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

She said: \u201cFirst of all, it was quite a large shoe to fill because not as many of the population alive today will remember, but the Queen was Duchess of Edinburgh for the first few years when she and my father-in-law first married.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sophie explained that stepping into that role meant more than just a title change. She said: \u201cFor me, it was quite an emotional thing to sort of step into her shoes [as being Duchess of Edinburgh], it felt like quite a big moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before that, Sophie was known as the Countess of Wessex, but when Prince Edward received his father\u2019s title as Duke of Edinburgh, that changed. That\u2019s when she officially became the Duchess of Edinburgh, the same title Queen Elizabeth held before becoming Queen.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Sophie also shared some insight on what it\u2019s like working behind the scenes in the royal family. She said: \u201cBut of course being practical my role and my husband\u2019s role is to support the King as it was to support the Queen and we are fortunate because we are able to not be in front and centre role, so it allows us the flexibility to explore our own interests and then also be available to do things like this where the King asked if I would represent him here, it so happens it also covering an area of interest personally for me too. But yes, we are there to support, and that will continue.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Even with all her official duties, Sophie seems to embrace a quieter image. She\u2019s often referred to as the royal family\u2019s secret weapon, something she finds slightly amusing.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cI like to fly under the radar. It\u2019s all very well being a secret weapon, but if no one knows, maybe it\u2019s too secret. I suppose I should take it as a backhanded compliment.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t see myself in a frontline position per se, that said, admittedly, there are fewer working members of the family these days, so I suppose more and more I\u2019m becoming less secretive. I just wonder what they are going to describe me as next!\u201d<\/p>\n

Even though Sophie and Edward stay pretty private, their steady support hasn\u2019t gone unnoticed. Some believe they might eventually take on the same kind of visible royal support roles that Harry and Meghan once held.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
