Fans who have recently been questioning the future role of the Wessexes may be disappointed to learn that their children are unlikely to be given official royal duties.
In the aftermath of Harry and Meghan's split from The Firm, Prince Edward and Sophie Wessex have been thrown into the spotlight.
Sophie recently told BBC's Naga Munchetty that she welcomed the recent attention if it helps raise awareness about the causes she cares about.
"There is increased interest in us as a family but, if it raises more awareness of the issues I care about, then that can only be a good thing," she said.
The couple campaign for various charities and the countess has been especially vocal in committing to ending sexual violence against war victims.
With the Wessexes' public profiles suddenly elevated, many have been speculating about the roles their children will take on in future.
The couple share a daughter, Lady Louise Windsor, 18, and 13-year-old son James, Viscount Severn.
However, the countess has said it is "highly unlikely" the children will follow in their parents' footsteps - and they don't even use official HRH titles.
In an interview with The Sunday Times' Christina Lamb back in 2020, Sophie explained: "We try to bring them up with the understanding they are very likely to have to work for a living. Hence we made the decision not to use HRH titles.
"They have them and can decide to use them from 18, but I think it's highly unlikely."
The mother-of-two explained the children have a relatively "normal" life with Prince Edward stepping in to do regular chores as a hands-on dad.
"He is very good at barbecues, and the children love those. He takes our son fishing, does a lot of riding with our daughter, he is very engaged as a father," she added.
Louise and James are the Queen’s first male-line descendants not to have royal titles.
The change is thought to have come after the Prince of Wales decided 'The Firm' should have fewer members to perform royal duties.
