On July 1, local time, the British "Mirror" showed an unprecedented image of Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, which aroused a lot of attention. Many British netizens said that they only knew her as dignified and generous before, but never thought of her. So much fun.
reported that Sophie, 59, participated in a carriage driving event held at Sandringham Manor in Norfolk. As the chairman of this event, she participated in an interesting competition, that is, one side Driving a carriage and drinking champagne.
Sophie, wearing a dark blue velvet equestrian jacket, was very busy sitting on the carriage, trying to keep the carriage stable while drinking champagne.
As a last resort, she held the goblet in her mouth, and this scene made her husband, Prince Edward, and daughter, Lady Louise, who were watching from the sidelines, burst into laughter.
It is said that this is the first time Sophie has participated in this kind of competition. Although the results have not been disclosed, it is obvious that the princess, who has been unknown for many years, enjoyed the competition and had a great time.
And Sophie's lively and cheerful appearance also made many people admire her and like her even more. "She can move freely. I like this kind of royal family member very much," someone wrote.
When Sophie was participating in the competition, her 60-year-old prince husband stood by and took photos of her. The old couple had a tacit understanding.
It is reported that the carriage competition that Sophie participated in was founded in 1982 by the late Prince Philip. Because carriage driving is one of his favorite sports, the prince hopes that more people can participate in it. Sophie's daughter Louise was also a lover of carriage driving. She got involved at the encouragement of her grandfather. After Philip's death, his carriage was inherited by Louise.
Not long ago, Sophie and Edward celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary. The commemorative photos showed the warmth and romance that only an old couple can have.
Compared with his elder brothers and sisters, Prince Edward is undoubtedly lucky. His marriage does not have so much farce, but only stability and peace. Although it may seem to some people that as celebrities, they don't even have any scandals, which is too ordinary, but if you think about it carefully, this is the high state of a high-quality relationship.
Perhaps it is for this reason that the late Queen Elizabeth II was particularly close to Sophie. Sophie is also considered the Queen’s favorite daughter-in-law. Of course, the other two daughter-in-laws, Diana and Sarah Ferguson, became Members of the royal family became ex-daughter-in-laws more than a decade later.
It is reported that soon after Sophie was introduced to the Queen, she became the Queen's favorite person, and Sophie also regarded the Queen as her mother. She privately called her "Mom", which is very common among British people. Not very common there.
Not only with the Queen, Sophie seems to have a good relationship with the royal family members. Maybe it has something to do with her being peaceful and cheerful enough.
html The way she and Princess Kate laughed while riding in a carriage together more than 0 years ago is still impressive. Although the two ladies are from two generations, they are particularly harmonious together.(At that time, Sophie stood up to get off the carriage, but the horse moved for some reason, so she almost fell, but luckily Kate held her up, and the two of them laughed together after being frightened.)
