Kinsey Schofield claimed that Meghan “rejected” Sophie’s offer to be a mentor upon her marriage in 2018, with Sophie already having some years of experience as a working royal.
Similarly to Meghan, the Duchess of Edinburgh did not come from an aristocratic background and had her own career before she married Prince Edward in 1999.
Ms Schofield told GB News: “Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, was very loving towards Meghan and attempted to have a relationship with her.

“I would love to be mentored by Sophie if she’s watching between meetings with foreign presidents, I’ll send you my phone number. I think that’s a great opportunity.”
She added: “I think that she was a great role model, and it was a missed opportunity for Meghan to learn how to navigate a difficult situation.”
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex infamously stepped down as working royals in January 2020, less than two years after their wedding, giving a sensational interview to Oprah Winfrey about their time in the Firm in March 2021.
