[@angelacarleton9575]

I get annoyed by anyone saying anything bad about Princess Diane because she had this chemistry to attract people around her. This was obvious at a young age but she knew what made her look pretty. Not all of her clothes were attractive because the fewer designs or floral prints on her garments made her look sophisticated. not overwhelmed. As for Princess Anne never smiled ever so how can she attract people with a sour-face individual. I know she does a lot of charities but she could have tried to be more appealing with less of a frown on her face. However, she was a championship horse woman which is an appealing quality to have in the Royal Family.

Judy Wade was PATHETIC in her criticism of Sophie trying to copy Diana. Diana didn't "own" any particular look. She dressed in every color and was able to wear every design imaginable. Just because someone else wears the same color dress doesn't mean she was trying to imitate Diana. Besides, Sophie has proved to be one of the most stable and hard working members of the Royal Family for the last 20 years. Then again, Judy Wade would make every excuse possible for Fergie's bad behavior, so she doesn't seem to be the best judge of character.

[@Angelaius]

Copy Diana is such a weird accusation just for example her hairstyle was famous in the 80's my mom had similar haircut but hers is curly. Her wedding dress from the 80's was the same big fluffy one such as Diana's and not because of Diana its was because that was the fashion 🙅‍♀️ I like Sophie and her daughter who is a horse lover such as the Queen.

Diana had really good taste and fashion sense she was super tall with beautiful legs elegant that helps a lot to any outfit… thats why she was able wear virtually anything… she had a lot of carisma.

Here's the difference: Sophie was a career woman and already educated while Diana was young and barely held a serious job. Sophie and Edward dated for a few years before getting hitched while Charles and Diana barely knew each other. Edward protected Sophie from the media while Charles never protected Diana. Edward is the better man who learned from his siblings mistakes and ensured his wife was treated right.

I would say that's exactly what Harry had done too, but a lot of people would disagree with me because that meant taking his wife away from the Royal Family instead of watching her go through the depression his mother went through! All because she wasn't born in that country and didn't know the traditions and on top of that married into the royal family and didn't know their Traditions to boot and what protocol was and nobody was willing to show her.

Absolutely true. Agree.

@@bessieknox Harry & Meghan only dated for a little over a year and it was long distance. She was not a British citizen and the Queen recommended that she continue her work as an actress, but Meghan was not willing to accept guidance or spend time learning the UK culture. Read Tom Bower's book "Revenge." On TV, Harry told the world he would train Meghan but behind the scenes what did they do? The Queen even dispatched many of her own helpers to mentor Meghan, but Meghan wanted to do it her way. Her background is sitting on set memorizing lines, never a corporate job. She was unwilling to accept guidance. Marry in haste, repent at leisure. Not to mention the way she treated staff...

And in my honest opinion I think it was Camilla that set the wheels in motion to begin with for him to be with her and make the two kids because she knew she could never measure up and now she steps up and like I said that lady would have taken a long trip down them stairs and nobody would have made either one of them boys to call it y'all know what's up it's the double standards and hypocrisy that don't apply to them but applies to everybody else! And you would think grits gal raised in the south would understand what good diversity would do that royal family and what it would do for their bloodline considering they're still marrying family members!

Yes, Sophie is very attractive and always has been. She has a very kind and friendly air about her and you can see that in how she relates to the people she meets while carrying out her royal duties. She is always happy to engage with people and you can see how they like and respond to her warmth. Prince Edward made a very good choice of wife, Sophie is a real asset to the Monarchy. It will be interesting to see if Lady Louise will take on Royal duties too, she seems a very sensible girl and must have been a favourite of Prince Philips I think, with a shared love of carriage driving. The Queen also rides out a lot with Lady Louise and I can see how perfectly she would adjust to being a working royal as she matures. Just as her mother is such a vital part of the Royal family.

The main difference is that Edward's grandmother and Sophie's grandmother didn't plot together and shove them into an inappropriate marriage. Charles needed a wife and Diana ( and her family ) wanted a royal connection. Charles' heart was already taken and Diana knew this but wanted to be a princess . Doomed from the start while Edward and Sophie took the time to fall in love slowly and naturally!

@@sherryduggar8821 I agree with you. I do think David Starkey was correct when he said Prince Charles should have married Camilla in the first place. It was obvious that the two were in love but Camilla wasn't considered suitable at the time, due to royal conventions at the time. If only Prince Charles had put his foot down and insisted that Camilla was the one woman he wanted to marry - but with him being the heir to the throne and so much pressure on him to marry a young 'suitable' woman he was pushed into marriage with Diana through the grandmothers. Although I have read that Diana's grandmother later admitted she knew Diana had emotional problems and she regretted pushing so hard for the marriage. Hindsight is a great thing isn't it?

Hayley, there's nothing wrong with being a commoner. The Queen consort Elizabeth the first, the mother of our current Queen, was a commoner. She did well by her marriage. Most of the Royals in Europe have married commoners --often from Australia, South Africa, Canada, excetera, and they've all done well. THE Queen needed somebody who was untroubled; with a normal family background, who could bring simplicity and stability to the life of her youngest child and she succeeded. Sophie's NOT perfect. I remember reading that she and Edward did some chronicling of the royal family and published it and the Queen said that is a NO NO DO NOT ever DO THAT AGAIN. . And she did not. And I believe they shut down the publishing company. And So It Goes. You and I are commoners and I think we are fantastic people. THE ONLY difference between us & the Royals is THEY wear BETTER clothes; eat BETTER food; and they change their accent once they become a royal unless they are unto the manor born.

@@rachelgreen4510 she had no intention of remaining in RF. just wanted some instant fame, no one in UK and most of US had really heard of her. Also thought she could get more millions money being in RF. she spent over a million on clothes. The dress worn for the Opera fake interview was reportedly $4k. Harry had a shabby suit and his shoes had holes. 😡

Kudos to Sophie's parents for raising her and David very well. I agree with their views that education is a better indicator of class than money as mentioned by Sean Smith at around 7:10.

Edward loves Sophie and protected her....

How I wish this documentary really focused on Prince Edward and Sophie. Sophie Helen is a lovely person inside and out, she’s brilliant and she’s her own persona, it’s unfair to always compare a person to another. But of all the children of her Majesty, The Queen - Prince Edward and Sophie Helen have their “Happy Ever After” with their children, Lady Louise and son, James, Viscount Severn. Their wedding was so simple or not as grand as the rest of the royal weddings but I must say, twas such an intimate and precious moment for Prince Edward and the Countess of Wessex, Sophie. And it’s lovely that they remained happy and in love to this day (they’re celebrating their 22nd Wedding Anniversary this year!❤️) and in the coming days of their lives as husband and wife.
