Sophie, Countess of Wessex, is still feeling very “emotional” over the passing of her father-in-law, according to royal commentators. The royal had spoken about Prince Philip’s death among other things during an interview with BBC Radio 5 Live. ITV Royal Rota podcast hosts Chris Ship and Lizzie Robinson discussed what she had revealed.

Mr Ship told listeners: “[Sophie’s] sort of expanded a little more about family life and life through lockdown.

“And also significantly the passing recently of Prince Philip who she was very close to.

“She’s been very closely involved in all the family emotions since his passing.

“And is still very emotional about it.”

Ms Robinson added: “It was a wide-ranging interview but she did speak about the Duke of Edinburgh.

“She said that his passing had left a giant-sized hole in their lives.

“She actually got quite emotional when she was talking about him.

“She talked about how these moments suddenly catch up with you.”
