Sophie awkwardly leaves off Prince Harry from royal family tree
During the visit, Duchess Sophie appeared to have an awkward moment as she seemingly left Prince Harry off when showing students how the royal line of succession works. The 58-year-old carried out a number of activities during her visit, such as planting a tree and getting to know some of the animals in residence. She also met with some of the students in a classroom setting and while using a whiteboard, the Duchess drew the royal family tree.

Starting off with the late Queen, Sophie then drew little faces to represent the King, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and her husband, who she called Ed.
She then added another face under King Charles III – representing his eldest son and heir to the throne, Prince William.
Sophie stopped the drawing there, and failed to add Prince Harry, the King’s second son.
However, none of the other royal children – for example, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie or her own children James, the Earl of Wessex or Lady Louise Windsor – were added.
The 58-year-old looked chic in an off-white, red and navy check blazer, black tailored trousers and grey suede block heels during the visit.
Prince Edward’s wife – who is patron to over 70 charities – was there to present the award from LEAF Education – a charity dedicated to engaging, inspiring and motivating young people through work-based learning.
The charity aims to give future generations an informed and balanced insight into the environment, food production and farming.
During the visit, Sophie also got to see how some of the products from the farm are used to create income for the site.
The visit was fitting for the mother-of-two, who is a huge advocate for young people and how they can reach their full potential.
Despite being smartly dressed, Sophie was also able to get her hands dirty by planting a tree.
She also got to witness a young calf being groomed by one of the students.
Sophie and Prince Edward became the new Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh in March this year.
It was confirmed on Edward’s birthday – March 10 – that the couple would be known under the new titles.
Their 15-year-old son, James, was awarded his father’s previous title – Earl of Wessex. Their 19-year-old daughter, Lady Louise Windsor’s title remains unchanged.
