The cover interview of Lady Frederick Windsor, better known as actress Sophie Winkleman, to Tatler magazine is giving a lot to talk about.
And is that in her statements she not only speaks wonders about each member of the royal family but also reveals some of the best-kept secrets about her day-to-day life behind the palace gates.
Lady Sophie Windsor interview
Lady Sophie Windsor, wife of Frederick Windsor, son of the Prince and Princess of Kent, confessed first of all that she has a very good relationship with all the British royals, expressing her affection for Kate and William, Sophie of Edinburgh, Zara Tindall. For Winkleman, they are all funny, intelligent, and kind people.
However, the juiciest part comes when he talks about Charles III, revealing that the current monarch works all day, has a quick dinner, and then disappears until 4 a.m. to write letters. He worries about everything and comes up with brilliant solutions.
She also recounts how the whole family went out of their way to help her when in 2016 she fell ill after giving birth, relying on meals from the Clarence House kitchen for months or being able to use the Buckingham swimming pool for her rehabilitation.
In short, Sophie granted the British a privileged and full of affectionate look at the routine and royal personalities, away from the coldness that is sometimes presupposed to them.
However, the main reason for the Tatler interview with Sophie Winkleman is her performance as an actress in ‘Belgravia’, one of the most relevant period series in the UK, where she plays Lady Rochester and shares a project with many of the team of ‘Downton Abbey’.
As the daughter of publisher Barry Winkleman and children’s author Cindy Black, Sophie met her husband Frederick, son of the Princes of Kent, during her time at university.
On February 14, 2009, the couple announced their engagement, which, as protocol dictates, was approved by Elizabeth II.
