Prince William to reward Sophie Wessex when he makes King

Prince William has big plans for Sophie Wessex when he becomes King.

The Prince of Wales, who gets along the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh very well, would give them important positions and prominent roles when he takes over the throne.

An insider spoke to The Sunday Times and said: "They [the Waleses and the Edinburghs] get on very well." The source then added that they believe that the Prince of Wales will be "eager for his aunt and uncle to play a more prominent role in public life".

Meanwhile, speaking to Mirror, expert Jennie Bond said: "By any measure, Sophie has proved herself to be a major asset to the royal family, and William would be foolish to ignore the value she brings."

Jennie added: "She is dignified and elegant, and yet still the same Sophie she was when she met Edward: unpretentious, generous and with a natural charm.

"She has worked below the radar for many years, neither expecting nor receiving the publicity she deserves. Recently though, with the slimmed down royal family, the public have come to recognise how important the Duchess is to the work of the monarchy,” she noted.
