This seems like a high profile role for Sophie. Has she ever conveyed a message from the monarch to a head of state before?
 
Good to see Sophie step up and play to her strengths.

Yes, very sad. I wonder what the protocol is ~ will DoE attend funeral, or send flowers or some other tribute?

This is the latest report I could find, from ABC Aus.

‘The Metropolitan Police's statement said the Independent Office for Police Conduct had begun an investigation into the crash.

Buckingham Palace released a statement that said the wife of Prince Edward was "grateful for the swift response by the emergency services".

"Further comment would be inappropriate because the crash was being investigated," they added.

In the statement, the duchess said her "heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with the injured lady and her family". End quote.

The IOPC regional director Amanda Rowe said on May 19: “Our thoughts are with the woman, who has sustained life-threatening injuries, and her family. We have been in touch with them to explain our role and will keep them regularly updated as the investigation progresses.”

I doubt Sophie would attend personally, it would bring more attention to it and if BP won't comment beyond basic statement because there is an investigation then I'm not sure they'd want such a media fuss if Sophie did attend. I'm sure flowers and heartfelt messages will be sent and maybe even a representative for Sophie.
 
Wow. They’re both doing a lot of traveling.
