Who Are Queen Elizabeth's Friends?
8 Loyal Ladies in Queen Elizabeth's Inner Circle

Let's be honest: Queen Elizabeth's children haven't exactly been lucky in marriage. Out of her four children, three ended up divorced (and two remarried), and the divorces were often scandalous. It's no wonder, then, that the Queen's favourite son- or daughter-in-law is the Countess of Wessex, who's married to her youngest son, Prince Edward.
It's not just the lack of scandal that has drawn the Queen to the countess. They share a love for horseback riding and often ride out together, and the Queen is said to appreciate Sophie's straightforward manner.
