Meghan Markle "rejected" Sophie Wessex's offer to "mentor" her in the Royal Family, royal commentator Kinsey Schofield has claimed.
According to Schofield, Meghan made it clear that she did not feel she needed Sophie's help because "she had Harry."
This comes as the Duchess of Edinburgh has become the first member of the Royal Family to visit Ukraine since the Russian invasion and has been branded "the Royal Family's secret weapon."
Like Meghan, Sophie did not come from an aristocratic background and had her own career before she married into the Royal Family.

Speaking to GB News, Schofield explained: "Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, was very loving towards Meghan and attempted to have a relationship with her.
"The Queen actually suggested that the two get together and that Sophie mentor Meghan and Meghan said I've got Harry and she rejected that offer.
"I would love to be mentored by Sophie if she's watching between meetings with foreign presidents, I'll send you my phone number.
"I think that's a great opportunity."
"I think that she was a great role model, and it was a missed opportunity for Meghan to learn how to navigate a difficult situation."
Meghan and Harry stepped down from their positions as senior royals back in January 2020.

Sophie and her husband have been the only royals to address Meghan and Harry’s interview since it stunned the world, although they have avoided saying anything too controversial.
Edward acknowledged in a interview with CNN’s Max Foster that the divide in his family was “very sad”, but added: “Weirdly we’ve all been there before.
“We’ve all had excessive intrusion and attention in our lives.
