Duchess Sophie eased King Charles tensions with her latest display of confidence as a working royal, especially at times when Andrew's scandal is the topic of discussion.
The Duchess of Edinburgh made a stunning appearance at the Reasons For Hope Gala in London, putting the talks surrounding the Andrew Epstein scandal to rest.
At the event, Sophie, alongside other prestigious guests, celebrated the late environmental activist Dame Jane Goodall, he legacy and supported the Jane Goodall Institute.
Dressed in a beautiful maxi dress was beaming in photographs.
Speaking of the message Sophie tends to deliver, body language expert Darren Stanton said, "These are some of the best photos we have seen of Sophie in a long time. They show her to be so confident - not arrogant - but supreme confidence."
As per Express, he added, "There is no tension in her eyes, she has a genuine smile (laugh lines, raised cheeks, crows feet), her hands are loose, her hands aren't interlocked, her shoulders and general posture are raised."
Sophie's presence at the event showed that she is "comfortable" in her surroundings.
Darren said that the Duchess's powerful appearance is all that the crisis-hit royal family needs.
He said, "...both she and Edward are being required to play bigger and bigger roles, and her confidence and comfort in these situations will help the slightly more nervous Edward play this role."Duchess Sophie receives delightful news about 'bigger' royal role
