Here is the truth about Prince Edward’s marriage.
Sophie and Edward met through a friend of hers whom Edward wasdatingthen.
So, what pulled the couple through the tough times?
The solution, according to Express, was, in part, thanks to Sophie’s tenacity.
“Edward is serious, quiet …
But when Edward’s with Sophie, he becomes good fun, too.
It’s extraordinary the effect she has on him.”
What was aiding Edward’s grief over the matter?
As for the ring?
We love to see it.
“I’d had five years to adjust,” Sophie said of her experience.
“For our six-month engagement I was even staying in Buckingham Palace,” Sophie shared with The Times.
“Not that you necessarily know how it will pan out.”
What else made it significantly different from other royal weddings?
Well, it did not feature any military or state involvement, which was certainly a shift from tradition.
Edward jumped on a plane to Mauritius for an official, but seemingly normal, royal visit.
But, soon after Edward’s departure, Sophie began experiencing pain in her abdominal area.
She was rushed to the nearest hospital, where the situation turned from bad to worse.
As noted byVanity Fair, Sophie experienced a placental abruption, which led her to undergo an emergency C-section.
The birth experience, according to a friend of the countess, left her scarred.
For Sophie, the shift marked a significant change in her life.
After all, being the grandchild of Queen Elizabeth is already a significant title to wear.
“Other children were mentioning it and saying, ‘Your gran is the Queen,'” Sophie said.
“And she’d come home and say, ‘Mummy they say that Grandmama is the Queen.’
But, nevertheless, her youngest son stepped up and filled in for her at the storied event.
Where do things stand between the royal couple now?
So, there you have it marry your best friend, and you’ll be set for life.
