Sophie, Countess of Wessex, may find she is tasked with meaning the rift between the Sussexes and the rest of the Royal Family. Dubbed a “savvy peacemaker” by Telegraph associate editor Camilla Tominey, the Countess was placed in a car with Meghan Markle for Wednesday’s Lying-in-State service. According to one of the Countess’s former aides, Sophie is made for the role of mediator, they told Ms Tominey: “That’s why she’s the Queen’s favourite daughter-in-law – she’s down to earth and just gets on with it. Like Meghan, she’s not only had a professional life before royalty but she also knows what it feels like to be vilified in the press. She understands what Harry and Meghan are going through.”

Meanwhile, King Charles III has been urged to bring Harry and Meghan “in from the cold”  by royal commentator Peter Hunt.

The former BBC presenter set out a “manifesto for a bold start to the reign of King Charles” which included: apologising for his family’s role in the slave trade, paying inheritance tax, giving Harry back his honorary military appointment, bringing Harry and Meghan in “from the cold”, and buying a good pen.

Prince Harry to be allowed military uniform for vigil in major U-turn

Prince Harry will wear his military uniform for a vigil tomorrow as his beloved grandmother lies in state.

The late Queen’s eight grandchildren, including the Duke of Sussex and his older brother the Prince of Wales, will hold a 15-minute vigil on Saturday as she lies in state at Westminster Hall ahead of next Monday’s funeral.

Palace officials are said to have intervened after Prince Andrew, who stepped back from public duties in 2019 amid the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, was given the go-ahead to don his uniform as he joins King Charles, Princess Anne and Prince Edward for a separate vigil on Friday.

A royal source told the Mirror: “Common sense has prevailed. It was a ludicrous situation given the Duke of Sussex has served his country and is a highly respected member of the armed forces with everything he has done for veterans.

“It is important that the Queen’s grandchildren are all made to feel welcome and comfortable as they grieve their beloved grandmother together.”
