What You Never Knew About Prince Edward's Marriage

When it comes to Queen Elizabeth’s children, the public is used to seeing headlines about Prince Charles or his disgraced younger brother, Prince Andrew. But you never hear much about the youngest of Elizabeth’s kids, Prince Edward, or his wife, Sophie, Countess of Wessex. That’s probably because they’ve managed to do something none of the other royal siblings have, and that’s maintain a relatively drama-free relationship.
The royal couple may have one of the most stable marriages in the royal family, but it hasn’t always been easy. From their spark-free first meeting to how they’ve stepped up as senior royals, here’s what you never knew about Prince Edward’s marriage.

What are your thoughts on Prince Edward?

Gorgeous couple. Sophie and Princess Diana look so alike!! Wow! Prince Edward married well. Wish them many many happy years together ❤

[audspod]

I think Edward and Sophie are a great example of how the younger Royals should be. Discreet, hard working and above all supporting our wonderful Queen. God bless them.

I'm glad that the Queen has help from her son and daughter in law. They are a great couple.

It’s ironic how similar the Queen and Prince Edward’s life are similar. Neither thought they would grow up to have such a major part in the Monarchy. ✨💖

[romanziphiri]

They are such a good example of being royal. Very discreet and hard working couple. They really did a great deal supporting the Queen 👑

Younger, Sophie looks a bit like Princess Diana. Sweet relationship story - ups and downs.

Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex and Sophie, Countess of Wessex are a beautiful royal couple and they deserve each other 🇬🇧🇨🇦

[raysouthall]

Sophie is a class act, I've always thought so.

The Earl and Countess of Wessex may have started their married life as members of the “firm” with a bit of difficulties but that made them strong, admirable and brilliant at present in their own ways. People stumbled and fell in the past but that’s part of learning and becoming into better personas. I appreciate them for doing their duties very well under the radar, their patronages and advocacies are significant and relatable and they are always present to help and care for Her Majesty, the Queen. It’s lovely that they’ll be celebrating their 23rd Wedding Anniversary on the 19th of June this year🥂🍾

I saw her before they got married . I also used to see him often as he worked at the next address to my workplace . He was pleasant when I met him buying his chocolate often in the off licence but when I saw her in real life she was stunning and he was punching well above his weight

I enjoy this Royal family, a breath of fresh air.

I love a couple that only come out into the limelight when doing their duties but then live a private life, not getting themselves into the headlines 10 times a day about how wonderful they are, not about who they are suing this week, not trying to stop free speech, not trying to cause a divide between races, not lying about who said what, we can actually see Sophie & Edwards gorgeous children, Sophie's not trying to break the internet & become the most famous "it" on the planet as well as the biggest humanitarian & standing up for women's rights & giving them a voice, which is hilarious since a certain someone doesn't draw breath or let anyone else get a word the last 2, especially women's rights all over the world in every country 1st or developing, white, black, brown, pink, purple or green with Blue polka dots, Sophie was doing along time before someone decided she needed to do that to be noticed, which she made on & speech & hasn't done sweet F A since. Also Sophie is down to earth, she seems like someone like Anne & Zara that u wouldn't wanna cross & i think the filthy death stare at the Commonwealth Service shows exactly how Sophie feels herself but also feels about how a certain spoilt missy upset her family....i could see Sophie swinging fists along with Zara lol

[maureencraven]

Lovely couple it's been nice to see more of them recently xxx

[estelafowler]

Just like his parents !! He met the love of his life, and Ms.Sophie is just amazing.

[marilyn]

They look happy and a good looking couple

[duffgordon]

Sophie loves her man... and her brilliance is staying part "Girl" as she always has that smile...

[dravenhawktoland]

I think that is why Charles and Diana's. Marriage didn't work out. They only knew each other for a short time. And they got engaged and married. They didn't date each other for a longer period of time.

[flordeliz]

Eduardo encontró a su propia Diana, bellísima y maravillosa pareja .

[marika]

Sophie has a particularly pretty smile.
