Kinsey Schofield, a royal specialist, said that Sophie struggled to settle in when she initially joined the royal family.

Sophie struggled initially because of her striking similarity to Princess Diana.

According to Schofield, Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, Prince Andrew’s wife, experienced a similar situation at the time.
