Sophie Helen Rhys-Jones, Duchess of Edinburgh and previously the Countess of Wessex, was born in Oxford in 1965.

Sophie married Prince Edward, Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip’s youngest child, in 1999, and officially became a member of the royal family.

The full-time working royal is known for being both an under-the-radar style icon and Queen Elizabeth’s favourite daughter-in-law…

Despite being born in Oxford, the Duchess of Edinburgh moved to Kent with her family at an early age, beginning her schooling at Dulwich College Preparatory School in Cranbrook.

Sophie then went on to attend Kent College School for Girls, Pembury, before completing her education at West Kent College.
The Duchess entered the realm of Public Relations and worked for a variety of firms before opening her own agency which she co-ran for five years.

In 1987, 23-year-old Prince Edward met 22-year-old Sophie Rhys-Jones at Capitol Radio where she was working. At this time, Edward was dating Sophie’s friend.

Six years later the pair met again when Sophie was handling the publicity for one of Edward’s Real Tennis Challenge events… the two hit it off and the rest is history!
