The royal family keeps trying to make Sophie happen, so in this bonus episode, we’ve compiled any and all interesting details we can find about the Countess of Wessex and her husband, Prince Edward. We wind back the clock to Sophie’s early days practising witchcraft at school and taking boyfriends up a secluded dirt track, and Edward’s short-lived military career and various fauxmances. Then, the unromantic story of how they met playing “real tennis”, Edward’s war with the press and the topless photo scandal in the run-up to their wedding, plus the controversy around the “Sophie Tapes” and the rumours about Edward’s sexuality.
