Duchess Sophie, Prince Edward light up the Paralympic village with love, support

The indefatigable royal couple, Duchess Sophie and Prince Edward, tugged at the heartstrings of sports fans with their charm and support at the Milan Cortina 2026 Paralympic Winter Games.

The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh spread love and harmony as they cheered on ParalympicsGB.

Sophie, 61, looked stunning as she wore a striking red Adidas puffer jacket as she spoke to an athlete.

On Wednesday, the royal family’s official Instagram account shared candid moments of the couple watching British athletes in action across multiple events and meeting members of the team competing in the Games.

The Duke of Edinburgh celebrated his 62nd birthday at the Paralympic Winter Games in Cortina D’Ampezzo, Italy, where he was joined by his wife Sophie.

The royal couple appeared in good spirits as they mingled with participants in the Paralympic Village.

Edward, who has served as patron of the British Paralympic Association since 2003, dressed warmly in official event gear for the occasion.

The event started on Friday, March 6 and runs until Sunday, March 15. Buckingham Palace posted the video on social media over the weekend.

The couple’s joint outing comes just days after Edward was forced to pull out due to illness from a ceremony and reception for the 2026 Queen Elizabeth Awards for Education in St. James’s Palace, where he was expected to appear alongside King Charles, Queen Camilla, Princess Anne and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester.
