The Palace are “definitely pushing” Sophie Wessex into a senior royal role, according to a royal correspondent. Roya Nikkhah, the Royal Editor for The Sunday Times, told True Royalty TV that the Countess of Wessex is “getting more of a platform”. It had been feared that Sophie would be cut out of the public eye under King Charles’ slimmed-down monarchy.
However, Ms Nikkhah insisted that her place was safe and in fact, the Wessexes are suddenly being pushed to the forefront.
She explained: “There is a lot of discussion around Sophie.
“We are suddenly seeing the Wessexes come to the fore. We are paying them more attention.
“She is doing the same work she has been doing for years, a lot of work with sexual violence in conflict, and prevention of blindness.”

The royal expert continued: “She has been doing these things for 10 years or more.
“But, now in a streamlined monarchy, there are less people around, so she is getting more of a platform.
“The Palace is definitely pushing it because she is a good news story for the Royal Family.”
For the past week, the Countess has been on a solo royal tour to Botswana, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Rwanda.
