Duchess Sophie has released a new statement after being honored with a notable role.

On November 16, the royal family paid tribute to the Duchess of Edinburgh with a charming announcement regarding her new honor.

The company’s spokesperson announced that the Duchess is the new patron of WheelPower, the national wheelchair sports charity.

Notably, King Charles previously held this role when he was Prince of Wales.

During her visit to the charitable foundation alongside her husband Prince Edward, Sophie shared: “It is a huge honor for me to take on this sponsorship.”

She added: “I’m really excited. I look forward to working with you in the future to make disabled sport more visible and accessible so that more people can benefit from the real benefits it provides .”

For the unknown, since the cancer diagnosis of King Charles and Kate Middleton, Duchess Sophie has increased her royal commitments in order to support and represent the family during key events.

Recently, the mother-of-two made a heartfelt gesture for Catherine during the Remembrance Sunday service, showing the world her motherly side for the princess, who returned to the royal fold after completing chemotherapy.
