It's been two months since Prince Philip passed away and his family are still reeling from their loss. In a new interview on BBC Five Live, the Countess of Wessex spoke candidly about how the royals are coping in the wake of Philip's death – and shared a previously unknown detail about her first pregnancy.
Sophie – married to the Queen's youngest son, Prince Edward, with whom she shares daughter Lady Louise, 17, and son James, Viscount Seven, 13 – told Naga Munchetty that Philip's death had left "a giant-sized hole in our lives".
Explaining how the pandemic meant they had not been able to spend as much time with the Queen as they would have liked, Sophie added: "So I think the whole grieving process is probably likely to take a lot longer… Because if you're not living with somebody, 24/7, the immediate loss isn't necessarily felt in the same way, as if somebody was in the house with you all the time.
