Sophie pays tribute to her ‘darling husband’ Prince Edward ahead of his 60th birthday

The Duchess of Edinburgh shared heartfelt words about her husband as he approaches his 60th birthday this weekend.
During an engagement in Leeds, Sophie, the Duchess, took a moment to reflect on their 25 years of marriage and offer a tribute to Prince Edward.
Sophie began her speech by acknowledging Edward’s likely discomfort with public praise, given his modest nature. She humorously imagined his reaction, describing him sitting back with a familiar expression reminiscent of his father.
Recalling past instances where she spoke about the late Duke of Edinburgh in his presence, Sophie admitted feeling apprehensive but relieved when her remarks were well-received. She highlighted Edward’s belief that it’s the organizations he supports that deserve recognition, not himself.
Despite her initial nerves, Sophie expressed gratitude for the opportunity to publicly honor her husband and share their journey together.
