The royal family appears to be employing King Charles' secret weapon in an attempt to recapture the attention and limelight currently focused on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex opened the Invictus Games in Vancouver, Canada, on Saturday, with Prince Harry giving a poignant statement during the opening ceremony.
Just hours after Prince Harry's address, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh issued declarations regarding a key cause.
Prince Edward and Duchess Sophie are now on a six-day royal trip to Nepal, where they attended various engagements. Sophie, an advocate for survivors of trafficking and gender-based violence, made a significant commitment.
During an interview, Sophie, called the monarchy's'secret weapon,' emphasized that her duty as the senior working royal required her to advocate for people who are unable to do so for themselves.
"So often, women often are excluded or at the bad end of the deal," according to her. "Unfortunately, women are disproportionately affected when confronted with challenging circumstances. If individuals in my position do not promote others in this way, they will have very little voice."
She stated that people have "woken up to the fact that these are really very real issues" and that in order to alter behavior, "you have to keep banging the drum." So I keep hitting the drum.
Buckingham Palace had previously posted updates from Edward and Sophie's Nepal vacation in a carousel post published on Friday.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry said that he promised himself "to uphold my obligation, my sacred obligation after my own decade and privilege of military service—to do whatever I could to help my fellow brothers and sisters heal and to champion everything that we stand for."
