Thank you, Duchess Sophie, for your words. This couple has been underrated simply because they are "boringly" decent and loving, towards each other, their children, their larger family and everyone else.
You're wrong actually. They were hounded for years by our horrible media; Prince Edward because he was interested in the theatre instead of spending years (as the 'fourth child') in the military, and Sophie because she was a career woman when she married Edward. The dastardly media used their typical nasty tricks to embarrass her enough to give up her career. They have been working Royals for over 20 years.
You are so right. However they have weathered all that and are now hard working Royals and supporting His Majesty the King. God bless them and Happy Birthday to Edward.@@jillosler9353
The Edinburghs are unsung but very important Royals. Many of their engagements are not covered by the major media outlets. We need to see more of Edward and Sophie!
@@floppysmith1181Harry loved his charity with the African continent n the Africans loved him. The minute I saw this woman with him I said "there goes Harry's charity work. This woman is all about "Glitz n Glamour" n her charity is all BS. n it's Harry she wants despite their huge age difference.
Not sure if underrated is correct, they are Wonderfully human beings happy to be the best people they can be for the world. That’s enough love them both❤❤
A friend of mine met Sophie and said she is absolutely lovely. Very down to earth and genuine. The royal family have nothing to worry about with people like her and the Duke of Edinburgh representing them. Happy 60th birthday Prince Edward 🎂🎂🎂
I watched their engagement interview. When the journalist asked about the ring, HRH Prince Edward said “Diamonds are a girl’s best friend.” And Sophie replied, “But you are my best friend.” ❤❤❤❤❤ Just love this two.❤❤❤
Such a devoted and down-to-earth wife not afraid to share her love for her husband in such a glowing tribute. Hope the birthday party is just as stunning!
Of all the present day Royals, Prince Edward is the one who most reminds me of King George VI. Both appearance and personality, caring and self effacing, Prince Edward and wife Sophie are a blessing for the Crown.
Edward and Sophie have always been my favourite royals, ever since Prince Edward officially opened my school back in either ‘08 or ‘09. Very down to earth, funny and I’m glad to have met him.
He seems like a very humble man. He is like his sister, they work hard behind the scenes without many headlines or acknowledgment. It is very apparent he is Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip’s son. I am sure they are looking down with pride. From America A very Happy Birthday to Prince Edward, The Duke of Edinburgh 🥳🇺🇸🇬🇧
That's a beautiful tribute to a lovely husband. Thank you Duchess of Edinburgh putting a smile on the Duke's face. A happy 60th birthday celebration wish in advance from here to Prince Edward.😊🎂🥂🎊❤🙏
Prince Edward was always my favourite. Until Sophie came along. And then Edward AND Sophie were my favourite. Happy Birthday, Prince Edward! God Bless them both and their family.
I was lucky to meet the Duke in the mid 90s. He was making a series of programmes about castles circling London and he was filming at Hertford Castle, where I was working at the time. I held the keys to the basement level and showed him around there. Called me 'Keeper of the Keys'. I also was quite naughty one morning. I kept my two young children from school so they could meet a prince - this was without any permission. One of his team tried to tell me that it probably wasn't possible. However, he happily came over to speak to us. No airs or graces. Just friendly. For this reason, I have always spoke highly of him and wish him the best of birthdays.
So heartfelt and lovely! She was right to speak the truth about her husband. I feel happy that she did not shy away from saying it in public. They are wonderful and the problems they had in life have just made them even more sympathetic to the needs of others! 💕🙏🏼
DucheSs Sophie and Prince Edward do well together. Match made in heaven. 60? Wow 😮 That's perfectlion! A royal couple with no scandal and CHILDISHNESS, like fights and competition with other members and immature behaviour. A couple who is a pure joy to admire. Lotsa love and ☮️ 🦋🖤🦋
I remember the day he was born...the exact moment the announcement on the radio...exactly where I was at that time. Was that 60 years ago? Time certainly does fly! Happy Birthday, Sir.
Heartfelt and lovely speech and tribute to her husband Prince Edward, the Duke of Edinburgh🥹❤️ you can see how they’re both supportive of each other and that’s genuine love, respect and friendship… Happiest 60th Birthday to his Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh. (Looking forward to another milestone in June, their 25th Wedding Anniversary)❤️
This couple has set the example since day one. A class act! True Royal example. Also Sophie is more beautiful every time you see her, she has discovered the location of the fountain of youth to be sure.
What a sweet tribute from Sophie - lovely couple and they do not get enough praise for all their hard work that they do so quietly - I respect and admire them very much
The three ladies who have married The Senior Members of the Royal Family are a huge credit to their husbands and to our country. The Monarchy is the only institution left in this country of which I am proud. So THANKYOU to HRH Sophie, The Duchess of Edinburgh, HRH Catherine, The Princess of Wales and Her Majesty Queen Camilla. 🇬🇧
This moved me to tears, so beautiful...warmest thank you for sharing this. God bless you both and Happy 60th Birthday to the wonderful Duke of Edinburgh Prince Edward.
from the USA I have always had much respect for this couple. they have performed their royal duties with grace and dignity, they deserve much happiness.

They are a lovely couple aren't they?
The Edinburghs are unsung but very important Royals. Many of their engagements are not covered by the major media outlets. We need to see more of Edward and Sophie!
And they don’t walk around holding hands all the time like another couple we all know
@@floppysmith1181LOL😊
Donna maybe they're happy to not be in the mass media so much
@@floppysmith1181Harry loved his charity with the African continent n the Africans loved him. The minute I saw this woman with him I said "there goes Harry's charity work. This woman is all about "Glitz n Glamour" n her charity is all BS. n it's Harry she wants despite their huge age difference.
Love Sophie and Edward, they are absolutely adorable and underrated. They are a great team and a wonderful couple ❤️

Happy 60th Prince Edward, great speech Duchess Sophie, a great couple and an example of what a true marriage should be.
A friend of mine met Sophie and said she is absolutely lovely. Very down to earth and genuine. The royal family have nothing to worry about with people like her and the Duke of Edinburgh representing them. Happy 60th birthday Prince Edward 🎂🎂🎂
Sophie is the one member of the Royals I would love to meet
LOL they have everything to worry about! Monarchy is not about personality, as we have daily proof.
I really like Sophie.The Royal family are very lucky to have her.Very classy lady ❤

Isn't Edward just lovely? So genuine and warm.

Sophie and Edward are my fav royal working couple. In the last few years they have really helped support QEII and now The King.
Mine too ❤ - shortly after them came the Prince and Princess of Wales 💯🫶🏼
You know the thing is they always done this work the media just didn't cover it back then
Have they divorced?!
