Queen elizabeth ii shows she's proud of 'favourite' sophie wessex

Sophie, Countess of Wessex, 55, has continued with royal work throughout the current crisis and demonstrated her worth as a key supporter of Queen Elizabeth II. The Countess is married to

the Queen’s youngest son Prince Edward, 56, and is said to be a royal favourite. Earlier this week Sophie carried out an important call with one of her charities Thames Valley Air Ambulance.

On April 21 the Countess joined the organisation’s weekly crew video call to learn more about the work they have been doing amid the coronavirus crisis. Sophie was made patron of Thames

Valley Air Ambulance by the Queen in January 2019. She was picked to become a royal figurehead for the organisation after it helped save her life in 2001. READ MORE: SOPHIE WESSEX

HEARTBREAK: INCREDIBLE REASON SHE HAS THIS ROYAL ROLE Thames Valley Air Ambulance airlifted Sophie to hospital in London from Bagshot Park in Surrey after she suffered from a potentially

fatal ectopic pregnancy. The countess, who was six weeks pregnant at the time, underwent a two and a half hour emergency operation at the King Edward VII’s Hospital, but lost her baby.

Sophie has worked closely with the charity ever since and was finally made its patron earlier this year. During Tuesday’s call, the Countess thanked Thames Valley Air Ambulance crew,

paramedics and doctors, following their redeployment to the NHS amidst the coronavirus pandemic. The Royal Family’s second tweet read: “Trauma incidents have decreased significantly in

recent weeks, with the public following advice to #StayHome. "‘I am very proud to be your Patron. When we do our Thursday clap, you are part of that as well. Look after yourself, look

after your families & please stay safe.’” The Royal Family Twitter account has regularly tweeted about Sophie’s efforts to help out during the coronavirus crisis. Last week the Countess

donned a protective mask and gloves and joined volunteers at several local organisations based near her Surrey home Bagshot Park. From helping bag shopping for NHS staff to preparing meals

for frontline workers, the Countess has not let lockdown stop her from lending a hand wherever possible.
