Megxit 'forced Sophie and Edward into central role - but they embraced challenge'
The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh have seen their profile continue to rise ever since they were officially included in the late Queen's line-up of senior royals.
"They have always done their fair share of royal engagements, but now, as Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, they are recognised as senior and key members of the royal family. When they are not carrying out regular engagements in the UK, the couple have a key diplomatic role and take on a lot of foreign travel - with the Duchess recently returning from Iraq and the Duke from Germany.
