This True Royalty Original show celebrates the recent birthday of Sophie, The Duchess of Edinburgh and discusses the impact she and her husband, Prince Edward have had as a stabilising force in the Royal Family. As full-time working royals, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh carry out a huge number of lauded public engagements on behalf of The King as well as support a large number of charitable organisations. However, in the early years of their marriage, the couple ran into difficulties working in the private sector and after the fallout of some grave errors of judgement they learnt the hard way that working on a commercial basis was incompatible with life as senior royals. Host Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen is joined by Former Spokesperson to Queen Elizabeth II and King Charles III, Dickie Arbiter and Vanity Fair’s Royal Correspondent, Katie Nicholl who chart the ups and downs of their journey.
