A former royal butler has lifted the lid on how Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh has become such a strong and steady support to King Charles.

Prince Edward’s wife consistently ranks high in the number of royal duties performed each year, coming in fourth place in 2025 with 235 engagements.


Speaking on behalf of Heart Bingo Online, Grant Harrold exclusively told GB News that Sophie is a “firm favourite” within The Firm, describing her as the “perfect royal”.

He describes her as the “next generation’s Princess Anne”, and believes she will also be an invaluable help to Prince William during his time as the Prince of Wales.

Mr Harrold said: “Sophie is known as a trustworthy and hardworking member of the Royal Family, a reputation she’s earned through decades of hard work.

“While she didn’t always get the brightest spotlight, she was always pushing for the causes she cared about and used her platform to raise awareness for important issues.

“She was very close to Queen Elizabeth. I first met Sophie in 1999, and her relationship with the Royal Family was incredibly strong.”

Mr Harrold added: “She has always clearly been a favourite, and they all enjoy spending time with her. She was admired by the Queen, and she’s also very close to Catherine.

“But I think in recent years we’ve seen her position grow even stronger, and she’s become the King’s steady influence.

“She’s always working hard in the background as a reliable constant, and that’s exactly what the royals need at the moment.”

According to the former royal butler, King Charles has a sibling-like relationship with the Duchess of Edinburgh.

Mr Harrold continued: “Sophie and the King have a brother-sister-like relationship.

“She is reliable and is really just the overall perfect royal. The family has always trusted her to carry out her engagements.

“The Duchess has a fantastic poker face, exactly like the Queen. She will always just get on with the job, despite all the chaos unfolding around her.

“She is the next generation’s Princess Anne. They share many of the same qualities.

“Like Princess Anne, Sophie will always be a member of the family that the King trusts.

“The Duchess is taking on the exact role that Princess Anne has played for decades. They are incredibly similar in the sense that they just get on with it.

“I have no doubt she will become one of the future King’s closest allies. She will be a matriarch for the Royal Family, and a vital asset to future King William.”
