Sophie will be the definitive biography of the life of Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, written by Sunday Times bestselling royal and celebrity biographer Sean Smith.
The Duchess has quietly become one of the most important members of the Royal Family. This new, exclusive and unique biography will reveal how in many ways Sophie is saving the Royal Family. For many years, she has worked tirelessly to fulfil her Royal duties and to advocate for the causes that matter to her – supporting women at home and abroad. But since the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022 her popularity has soared as she has significantly increased her work load and become a firm favourite with the public. She has been dubbed the King’s secret weapon as the family have battled one crisis after another from serious health concerns to the scandals involving Prince Andrew. Now, to mark her 60th birthday year, Sean Smith will share the inspirational story of how Sophie Rhys-Jones, a fun-loving middle class girl from a Kent village became one of the nation’s most respected and best-loved royals.
Using his long standing royal contacts, Sean will explore Sophie and Edward’s relationship, the challenges they have faced as a couple as well as their best achievements, how Sophie became the cherished companion to the late Queen and will assess the impact she is having on the public profile of the Royal Family in these turbulent times.
An intimate portrait and celebration of our most unassuming royal, Sophie: Saving the Royal Family is a must read for all royal fans.
