Duchess of Edinburgh Sophie Wessex 'relieved' she no longer has to curtsy to Meghan

The new Duchess of Edinburgh is 'relieved' she no longer has to curtsy to Meghan Markle, it has been claimed by a friend of the royal.

Sophie, the former Countess of Wessex, has been given her new title of Duchess of Edinburgh following Prince Edward's promotion as Duke of Edinburgh on Friday by elder brother King Charles, reports the Mirror.

As the Countess of Wessex, Sophie was duty-bound to curtsy to the Duchess of Sussex due to Meghan being of higher rank, but now this is not the case.
