Duchess Sophie undertakes first engagement as royal reeling from Andrew scandal

The royal family on Friday shared the details of a royal engagement that Duchess Sophie had undertaken.

Sharing more photos of Prince Edward’s wife, the royal family said the Duchess of Edinburgh attended the annual Duchess of Edinburgh pageant at Sandhurst last week.

It said: “Her Royal Highness watched the challenges take place and met participating and officiating personnel from the Royal Navy, Army and RAF.”

According to the statement, “The competition consists of activities designed to test physical, cognitive and teamwork abilities. During the day, ten teams competed over five events, followed by a final all-team event and prize-giving.”

It marks Sophie’s first royal engagement since the Windsor family came under media scrutiny over King Charles’ move against his younger brother, the former Prince Andrew.

The monarch stripped the former Duke of York of his remaining royal titles and asked him to leave his royal residence after the monarch was criticized for failing to act against the disgraced royal.

Andrew had lost his princely title days after he announced he would not use his Duke of York title.
