The Duchess of Edinburgh is due to visit Geneva just two days after Meghan Markle tomorrow. However, a royal crossover is not expected after Sophie touches down in Switzerland, as the pair is not famously known for having a close relationship.
Following the Sussexes’ explosive interview with American talk-show host Oprah Winfrey in 2021, in which they explained why they left royal duties and accused the royal institution of lacking support, Sophie said she was not aware of it. Her husband, Prince Edward, the Duke of Edinburgh and King Charles’s youngest sibling, said to The Telegraph: “Oprah who?” Meanwhile, Sophie added: “Yes, what interview?”

According to the Royal Diary, Sophie is due to touch down in Geneva on May 19, but information about her schedule has been kept to a minimum.
On the other hand, Meghan Markle flew to Switzerland to join the WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, global health leaders, ministers and families affected by online harm to open a memorial.
She called for urgent change and stronger protections for children online when speaking at Place des Nations in Geneva on May 17.
Hosted by Archewell Philanthropies and the World Health Organisation, the memorial features fifty illuminated lightboxes, each displaying the lock screen image of a child who lost their life after online violence and digital harm.
The installation was first unveiled in New York City last April as part of the No Child Lost to Social Media campaign, and it will be shown in Geneva until Friday, May 22, during World Health Assembly week.

Meghan said addictive online platforms play a role in the declining mental health of children, stating: “Children today are being shaped by systems designed to capture attention at any cost: relentless algorithms, exploitative engagement, and endless exposure to harmful content that they are not seeking out.”
The Duchess called on parents to set examples for their children, including safe social media usage, writing to their elected representatives to put online safety laws in place, and join campaigners for child safety.
Meghan added: “If an adult is barely able to survive the bullying and predation of the online world and the dangers that these platforms can bring, how is a child?”
