Prince Edward celebrated with tearful speech by wife Sophie

News Corp Columnist Louise Roberts has reacted to a touching tribute made by the Duchess of Edinburgh, for the Duke of Edinburgh’s 60th birthday. In the speech the Duchess described how like his father the late Prince Phillip, Edward was - and how he ‘never seeks compliments for himself.’ “I thought it was nice that Sophie described him in the highest of gold standard terms as an ‘iceberg,” Louise Roberts told Sky News Australia host Caroline Di Russo. “What you see on the top with Edward is the very tip of the good work, and stability and the general good nature-ness, that the public don’t see, and even the Royal Family themselves don’t see. “He’s been in a situation himself where he’s been overshadowed by his older siblings his entire life in a way.”
