Princess Diana’s journey has been likened to Sophie Wessex in a mind-boggling comparison.
The former Princess of Wales and the first wife of King Charles, has had a similar life journey to Sophie Wessex, wife of Prince Edward.
Royal author Katie Nicholl tells OK!: “They were both blonde and both beautiful, of course, but there’s also a parallel between the ground-breaking and often dangerous work that Diana did with landmines through the Halo Trust,” says royal author Katie Nicholl.
“Some of the work Sophie does is similar, particularly around raising awareness of vulnerable women in warzones and for victims of genocide and sexual violence. These are gritty topics and not necessarily the sort of thing we might associate with a royal. And yet Sophie is smashing stigmas by shining a spotlight on them in the same way Diana did.”
The comment has been made after Sophie made a groundbreaking entry to Ukraine, making herself the first Royal to visit the country after Russia’s invasion three years ago.
