The Countess of Wessex has told how her “dear mother-in-law” the late Queen was “so happy” for the people of Malawi at the country’s elimination of the eye disease trachoma.
Sophie, in a speech in Malawi to mark World Sight Day, said the Queen knew the summer before she died that the countess would be returning to the southern African nation soon to celebrate its success in battling the condition, which can cause blindness.
