Queen Elizabeth II to Promote Countess Sophie of Wessex to Princess
In a historic move, Queen Elizabeth II is reportedly promoting Sophie, Countess of Wessex, to Princess.
This decision has caused quite a stir within the Royal Family, with some members expressing their displeasure.
One such member is Camilla Parker Bowles, who is said to be furious over the news.
Sophie, who became the Countess of Wessex after marrying Prince Edward, has been a source of comfort and calm for the Queen since the passing of Prince Philip.
According to an insider, the Queen has come to consider Sophie a daughter in recent years and wants to honor her by having her known officially as a Princess.
However, Camilla Parker Bowles is reportedly not happy about the news.

She has wanted to be called a Princess ever since she wed Charles and was blocked from becoming Princess of Wales out of respect for Diana.
According to a source, Camilla has heard about the Queen's plans and is seething with jealousy.
Despite the rumors, it's important to note that the Queen does not have the power to simply wave a wand and give anyone whatever title she likes.
Titles in the British monarchy are predetermined by birth, and the official title of Princess must be born into.
This means that Sophie cannot officially become a Princess, no matter how beloved she is by the Queen.
Furthermore, Charles isn't dragging his feet about giving away his Duke of Edinburgh title.
Until he becomes King, the title remains with him, whether he likes it or not.
It's only when he ascends to the throne that the dukedom will become vacant and he can give it away.
This isn't the first time that Camilla Parker Bowles has been painted as power-hungry and disliked by other royals.
Last year, a tabloid claimed that Bowles and Kate Middleton were fighting for the throne, which was proven to be untrue.
The magazine even claimed that Bowles spitefully ruined Princess Eugenie's baby surprise, which was also proven to be false.
In reality, Camilla Parker Bowles has no issue with Sophie becoming a Princess, as the Queen is not going to make her one.
Despite the rumors and speculation, it's important to remember that titles in the British monarchy are predetermined by birth and cannot be changed by the Queen's whim.
As for Countess Sophie of Wessex, she remains a beloved member of the Royal Family and a source of comfort for the Queen during this difficult time.
Her promotion to Princess may not be possible, but her dedication and service to the monarchy will not go unnoticed.
