The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh go about their royal duties without a lot of fanfare and play a vital part in keeping the wheels of the Royal Family turning day-to-day. Their children Lady Louise Windsor and James, Earl of Wessex are 22 and 18, giving their parents more time to dedicate to royal duties whilst Prince William and Kate raise their much younger family.
According to woman&home magazine’s Royal Correspondent Emily Andrews, all of the Edinburghs’ could be even more important when William is King. Writing in the April edition, which is on sale now, she declared that Sophie and Edward have "proved a safe pair of hands" upon which "Prince William has indicated that he will rely" on.
