Sophie Wessex was humorously offered a job at a supermarket, not realizing her royal status. A funny moment shared by a close friend.
A friend of Sophie’s, Mary Montagu-Scott, shared this amusing story. It was just before Sophie’s 60th birthday. Mary said the employee had no clue who Sophie was.
Sophie is known for being a great friend and a valuable member of the Royal Family. Last year, she completed 257 engagements, ranking fourth among the royals.
People often compare her to Princess Anne, who did even more engagements. Sophie’s work often goes unnoticed, but she prefers it that way.
She likes to drive herself around and keeps her entourage small. Plus, she does her own hair and makeup, which is pretty impressive.
Sophie married Prince Edward in June 1999 at St George’s Chapel. They chose a more intimate setting than his brothers did.
For her birthday, she plans to celebrate at home with Edward and a few friends. Their kids are likely busy with school.
The Royal Family will send their best wishes to Sophie, who has become a key member of the family over the years.
