Unlike her sister-in-law, Camilla and her nephew’s wife Kate Middleton, Sophie was given the title of Countess of Wessex when she tied the knot with Prince Edward in 1999.
Her title came as Edward was bestowed the name Earl of Wessex from his mother the Queen upon marriage.
However, the couple could both be set for changes to their Earl and Countess titles in future.
But they will have to wait until Edward’s older brother Prince Charles becomes King.
