Sophie Winkleman (Lady Frederick Windsor): The Merry Wife of Windsor, Sophie Winklemans Second Act.
Tatler: February 2024 edition
Sophie reveals, she had suffered a car crash several years ago, and she had broken her foot and three bones in her back.
She was touched by the support of The King, as the then Prince of Wales, whose cook at Clarence House supplied her family with meals twice a day for months.
The Duke of Cambridge, later The Prince of Wales, asked an air ambulance colleague to ‘take good care of her’, while The Countess of Wessex, later The Duchess of Edinburgh, visited her in hospital.
Sophie's recuperation was slow and agonising, Queen Elizabeth II allowed Sophie to use her pool at Buckingham Palace.
She asked how Sophie was, and she said, “We can’t have that. You have to go in the water.” She told us that when horses had broken backs, they swam.
Sophie reveals she loves The Duchess of Edinburgh, Lady Sarah Chatto, Zara, the York girls, Sir Tim and The Princess Royal, Sarah, Duchess of York, all the Kents and Gloucesters.
She also loves The Prince and Princess of Wales, but they’re so busy and don’t live in London.
Sophie reveals, His Majesty The King is a very dear friend. She spend a bit of time with him, she saw how he works all day long, has a quick supper and then disappears until about 4am to write letters. He cares about so many things and he comes up with brilliant solutions.
