The Princess and Duchess are both women who have married into the royal family, with Kate marrying Prince William in 2011, while Sophie tied the knot with Prince Edward in 1999.
Royal insider’s view on their friendship
Ingrid Seward, author of My Mother & I, the Inside Story of the King and Our Late Queen, previously told HELLO!: “They have a sisterly bond and Sophie is like the older sister Kate never had. “They are both incredibly kind girls and have a caring side to them. They are both protective of their children. Sophie has had a young family, so she knows what it’s like trying to protect them while being in the royal world.
“Sophie also has experience of life-threatening illness – she nearly died when her daughter Louise was born. She has been there in the background, as part of a private support network. The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, who carry out hundreds of engagements a year, are primed to play a much more prominent role when Prince William becomes King.

“The royal ladies have similar interests and passions, including their love of sport and fashion. They also share common causes within their royal work, with both Kate and Sophie championing the work of children and young people’s charities.”
