While Edward and Sophie’s relationship had been dubbed “the least complicated royal romance of modern times” after it began in 1993, she still came under intense public scrutiny, with the media speculating on everything from her “true hair colour to whether or not she had a good singing voice.”

The Queen, who has remained very fond of her daughter-in-law, Sarah Ferguson, summoned Edward into her private sitting room at the Palace, and “explained to him how unfair it was to accuse the Duchess of such disloyalty”.
