Maud, attends Thomas’s Battersea, the same school as his distant cousins Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

Since the couple tied the knot in 2009, mother-of-two Sophie says everyone has ‘looked after’ her, in particular the Queen and Prince Charles, who have been ‘wonderful’, and Prince William, whom she described as ‘heaven’.
Speaking to The Times, in 2020 she said: ‘I’ve been incredibly welcomed with open arms by all of them… They’d never tell me off at all if I wanted to play some [racy] role.’
She added that she hasn’t watched The Crown, the latest series of which has come under fire from friends of Prince Charles who accused Netflix producers of ‘trolling’ the Royal Family ‘on a Hollywood budget’ due to the drama’s largely negative portrayal of his marriage to Princess Diana.
Sophie is half-sister of TV presenter Claudia Winkleman, with whom she shares father Barry Winkleman, and was educated at the private City of London School for Girls before completing an English degree at the University of Cambridge.

She explained she and the Strictly presenter had ‘very separate lives’ as children because Claudia, who is nine years her senior, lived with her mother.
Sophie, who now lives in Chelsea, married Lord Freddie in September 2009 at Hampton Court Palace, after meeting him on a night out in Soho.
The couple, who moved to LA for a number of years after their wedding for Sophie’s work, welcomed their first child, Maud Elizabeth Daphne Marina, nine, in August 2013, and Isabella Alexandra May, six, January 2016.
Maud and Isabella were among five bridesmaids for her sister-in-law Lady Gabriella Windsor and Thomas Kingston when they wed in May last year – having already been in the bridal party for Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank’s wedding in October.
At the nuptials down-to-earth Sophie was seen chatting and sharing a joke with Prince Harry, who had just become a father.
Speaking about his wife, fellow actress Meghan Markle, 40, Sophie said: ‘I’ve met her a few times over here, but not well enough to get to know her. She certainly has very admirable energy and focus.’
After the emotional service the couple were spotted leaving hand-in-hand behind Mike and Zara Tindall and their eight-year-old daughter Mia Grace

Sophie said she ‘wasn’t fazed’ about becoming a member of the Firm, which she put down to her father being a ‘socialist bordering on Marxist’ which meant the Royal Family was rarely discussed when she was growing up.
‘I definitely wasn’t trying to get to Ascot to meet Prince William,’ she told the publication.
‘My parents gave me confidence. I don’t know how to do it with my own children, but it’s a great gift and it meant I felt I had something to bring to the table. They gave me a good education and that makes you feel you can walk into any group, so it wasn’t too intimidating.’
