Duchess of Edinburgh Steps Back as Son James Enters Adolescence
Duchess Sophie, the wife of Prince Edward, has taken a step back in her role as a mother to her teenage son, James, according to a Royal Body Language expert.
James, who is only 15 years old, is the younger sibling of Lady Louise and the son of the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh.
While Sophie and Edward play important roles in the Royal Family, their children have more freedom as non-working relatives.
As James grows older, his responsibilities will increase, and this transition into adulthood has affected his relationship with his mother.
Body Language expert Jodie analyzed the dynamics between the two and noticed Sophie’s willpower to step back from being overly involved.

Jodie explained that royal mothers tend to follow a classic style of nurturing, focusing on raising healthy and independent children, especially boys, as an act of survival.
This pattern is evident not only in Sophie’s relationship with James but also in other royal families, such as Princess Kate and her son, Prince George.
Jodie pointed out that as George started emulating his father’s body language, displays of affection, such as holding hands and hugs, gradually decreased between William and Kate.
Both Sophie and Kate seem to use a great deal of willpower to allow their sons’ independence and confidence to flourish, while still offering subtle signs of love and encouragement.
This shift in approach is necessary for James, as his public life as a member of the royal family requires confidence and resilience.
Although James and Lady Louise are 15th in line to the throne, they have been thrust into the spotlight more frequently since their parents became the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh.
While James is only called upon for special occasions at the moment, his role could potentially grow in the future.
The distance between Sophie and James seems to be beneficial for the young royal, allowing him to develop his own identity.
The broader family dynamic between the Wessexes is also important.
Jodie noted that James appears to be emulating his father during royal occasions, while Sophie’s body language aligns more with that of her daughter.
Previously, Sophie was seen being supportive and affectionate with her pre-teen son, offering comfort in public and playfully interacting with him.
However, as James has grown older, many of these signs of encouragement and support have been dropped, allowing him to shine as a young man in his own right.
This change in approach seems to have brought out James’s more confident side.
In conclusion, Duchess Sophie has made a conscious decision to step back from her role as a mother to James as he enters adolescence.
This shift in dynamics is not unique to their family but is observed in other royal families as well.
By allowing James to develop his independence and confidence, Sophie is preparing him for the challenges of royal life.
The Wessexes’ family dynamic plays a crucial role in shaping James’s identity, with him emulating his father’s body language while Sophie aligns more with her daughter.
This approach seems to have had a positive effect on James’s confidence, as he now appears to be pairing up with his father during public appearances.
