Known to buy outfits for Kate Middleton, the Countess of Wessex Sophie is now also a ‘secret shopper’ for the Queen.

In an interview with Emma Willis, the shirt-maker discloses that Sophie is among her customers and that she buys clothes for the Queen. Sophie has long impressed with her classically tailored and timeless ensembles. She is also known to have a close relationship with her mother-in-law, the Queen. So it really shouldn’t come as a surprise that she has been entrusted with adding to Her Majesty’s wardrobe.

"I've made many, many clothes for the Countess of Wessex – when I used to do a full women's collection," Emma told the Daily Mail. "She bought a shirt for her husband, Prince Edward, once. And she also bought a shirt for her mother-in-law, so I've made a shirt for the Queen!"

Speaking to Daily Mail, designer Donna Ida disclosed that Sophie has bought select items for Kate in the past. "My friend, a stylist, is best friends with Sophie Wessex, and Sophie buys from us. She got our £295 (estimated US$375) black Sadie jumpsuit for herself and then asked for one for Kate,” she revealed.

The Countess, 55, has inspired her 16-year-old daughter, Lady Louise Windsor, with her sense of style. The teen has been spotted wearing a few items from her mother’s wardrobe – most recently on Christmas Day 2019 when both of them attended church in Sandringham.

Sophie had looked as impeccable as ever with Suzannah Brodie coat paired with an Emilia Wickstead 'Dalia' blouse and 'Richie' printed skirt. She accessorized with a Jane Taylor headband and a Sophie Habsburg clutch.

Meanwhile, Louise wore a gorgeous Stella McCartney tartan coat that Sophie had worn previously. She carried a nude Sophie Habsburg clutch which her mother has sported many times, as well as a plaited headband by Jane Taylor – one of her mum's favorite milliners.
