"Edward and Sophie are a very unroyal couple. They have no airs and graces," royal write Penny Junor has said. "They are very low key. And they don't have a sense of entitlement. So, maybe we will see more of them. The public, I think, like them."
The couple are proud parents to two children – Lady Louise, 18, and James, Viscount Seven, 14 – and despite their lineage, mother Sophie has said it is unlikely they will ever take on official royal roles.

The Countess also spoke lovingly about her husband and his role within their family.
"He is very good at barbecues, and the children love those. He takes our son fishing, does a lot of riding with our daughter, he is very engaged as a father."

"They go to a regular school [they both attend top independent schools]. They go to friends for sleepovers and parties," Sophie noted.
"At weekends we do lots of dog walking and stay with friends. I guess not everyone's grandparents live in a castle, but where you are going is not the important part, or who they are. When they are with the Queen, she is their grandmother."
