If Prince Louis is a favourite of the Duchess of Edinburgh, Princess Charlotte 'clearly adores' the Duke of Edinburgh as their close bond was on full display at the Commonwealth Games this weekend. William and Kate's daughter perched her face on her hand as she listened intently to her great-uncle. The former PR executive acts as a 'brilliant bridge' between generations, as Sophie has frequently been pictured on the Buckingham Palace balcony sharing tender moments with Princess Charlotte, Prince George and Prince Louis. While Kate and the Duchess have come a long way from their tentative mentor/mentee relationship, Prince William also gets on famously well with his uncle's wife. Sophie is known for her down-to-earth nature and was viewed by the Queen as The Firm's safest pair of hands.
