Sophie Wessex ‘furious’ at ‘blatantly untrue’ claims she shunned Meghan Markle

Sources close to the Duchess of Edinburgh say that her and Meghan ‘talked for hours’ when they spent time together at her Surrey home.

Sophie Wessex is reportedly angry after it was suggested in Omid Scobie’s book that she did little to support Meghan Markle during her time as part of the royal family.

Sources close to the Duchess of Edinburgh say that she is unhappy after being dragged into the royal race row that was reignited by the release of Endgame last month.

In its pages, Omid suggested that Sophie had done nothing to help and support Meghan as she was struggling with life as a royal. But according to her allies, Sophie had been there for her – and had even invited her round to her Surrey home.

The Mirror reports that friends of Sophie have said she had chatted ‘for hours’ with Meghan in the early months of her marriage to Prince Harry, going out of her way to give her support and advice.

“It was just the two of them at and they talked for hours,“ a source told The Sun.

“Meghan had so many questions and Sophie, who knows what it’s like navigating your way through the early days of transition from a commoner to a royal, gave freely of her advice. Sophie found Meghan likeable and engaging and told her that she could call her any time when she needed advice about dealing with some of the trickier royals.

Sophie’s allies have also rubbished claims about her shunning Meghan as she left a church in Windsor, saying they are ‘blatantly untrue’.

In Omid Scobie’s explosive book, he accused Sophie of being ‘casually bigoted’, in reference to comments that her and Prince Edward made after the Sussex’s bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey.

Just a few days after the interview aired back in 2021, Edward and Sophie were asked in a Daily Telegraph interview if they had watched it – to which they replied “Oprah who?” and “what interview?”

Sophie, 58, then went on to state: “You know, if you’re not into chat shows, there’s no reason why you should know who she is. Certainly not this this country, anyway.” Mr Scobie responded by saying the comments made Sophie appear “tin-eared” about Ms Winfrey in his book Endgame, which was released on Tuesday.

Speaking about the Duchess, Mr Scobie wrote: “Whether it was a ‘joke’ (as a source close to the couple later claimed it was) or not, the comments about the world’s most successful Black woman and one of the biggest faces in entertainment made them seem stuffy or tin-eared at best, and casually bigoted at worst.”
