Sophie Winkleman, 42, who married Lord Frederick Windsor, 43, in 2009, has gushed about her “growing closeness” to senior members of the Royal Family. Frederick, who Sophie affectionately calls Freddie, is the son of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent.
In a new column, Peep Show star Sophie explained that she will be dividing her time over Christmas with her parents and her husband’s family.
Going on to praise the royals, Sophie wrote in the Spectator: “I cherish my growing closeness to the senior members of the Royal Family.
“[They] are so hardworking, uncomplaining and brave in the face of relentless and brutal media attention, criticism, lies, undermining and fictional TV programmes – and always so good to me that I’m honoured to know them.”

She then paid a sweet tribute to the late Queen and commended her faith.
Sophie went on: “The unwavering faith of the late Queen fascinated and moved me.
“How does one put aside rational thinking and science and believe in something so allegorical and, well, mad? It is a question which keeps whispering to me and one which I feel compelled to keep exploring.”
Although Sophie did not mention Meghan Markle and Prince Harry by name, her comments come amid the release of their bombshell Netflix documentary, Harry and Meghan.
Kensington Palace and Buckingham Palace confirmed it did receive an email purporting to be from a third-party production company.
It added that it attempted to verify its authenticity with Archewell Productions (the couple’s firm) and Netflix, but never received a response.
A source said: “In the absence of this verification, we were unable to provide any response. The substance of the email we received also did not address the entire series.”
Harry and Meghan is available to stream on Netflix.
