Duchess Sophie, generally regarded as King Charles's 'secret weapon,' recently stood in for the king to undertake an important royal duty.
The Duchess of Edinburgh attended the Sovereign's Parade at Sandhurst Royal Military Academy on behalf of the cancer-stricken queen, who had recently returned from a high-profile tour to Italy.
During her visit, the mother-of-two reviewed troops, smiling with satisfaction that she was representing the royal family at a significant event.
It is worth noting that this was Prince Edward's wife's third visit to the military parade. She previously participated in the 2013 and 2019 events.
According to Hello!, the King did not attend the ceremony following his four-day visit to Italy while undergoing cancer treatment.
It has been reported that the monarch traveled to Scotland with Queen Camilla from Ravenna to celebrate their anniversary week quietly at Birkhall.
