Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, has had a busy year as a member of the Royal Family. Described as Princess Kate's "royal sister," Sophie stepped into a new role earlier this month when she led the Armistice Service at England's National Arboretum solo. She's also been described as the "Royal Family's secret weapon," as she's reportedly extremely professional. Now, Duchess Sophie is taking over an important royal role from another family member.
On Monday, Nov. 25, the charity Plan International UK announced that Duchess Sophie would be taking over as their royal patron. Sophie's late father-in-law, Prince Philip, previously held the role.
