King Charles has got a member of the Royal Family that he can always rely on and it’s neither Duchess Sophie, Princess Anne, nor Princess Catherine, who have all been dubbed “secret weapons” before, a royal expert has claimed. The King has been relying on key working members of the Firm to juggle the workload of the now-slimmed-down monarchy.

But another member of the Firm, his younger brother, Prince Edward, has been praised as a “steady hand” for the King.

Royal author Robert Jobson told the Daily Express: “In Edward, the King has found a trusted, steady hand—dependable and discreet—supported by his equally grounded wife, Sophie.

“Together, they present a wholesome, scandal-free image that has quietly bolstered the monarchy’s relatability in modern times.”
