Sophie Wessex was visibly upset today as she stepped out of Balmoral for the first time since it was announced the Queen has died.
Prince Edward‘s wife, 57, was very close to her mother-in-law, and was known as one of her closest confidantes.
Her Majesty’s daughter-in-law was often been noted as the monarch’s ‘favourite’ family member after she married Prince Edward.
Sophie formed close bond with the royal family after losing her own mother, Mary Rhys-Jones, to stomach cancer in 2005 aged 71, when her daughter Lady Louise Windsor was only two.
She was also extremely distraught following the death of the Duke Edinburgh, and became the Queen’s ‘rock’ following his funeral.
