Sophie, Countess of Wessex married Prince Edward in 1999, but a royal expert has now revealed the two almost split because the queen's son got cold feet. Sophie, Countess of Wessex met Prince Edward in 1987, when he was dating her friend. The two met again at a tennis charity event in 1993, and began a relationship soon afterwards.

In Royal author-ingred Seward's book Prince Edward, from 1995, she revealed Sophie and Edward came precariously close to breaking up. According to Em's Seward, Sophie, who was born a commoner, struggled to adjust to life as a royal. She wrote, like all couples there were moments when the effort of adjusting led to Rose and disagreement sand, in the summer of 1994, they came precariously close to parting. Em's Seward further wrote just a year after they met, the Prince, who is the youngest son of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, got cold feet. She added, Edward became what one friend described as unnerved by the speed which the affair was developing. But if Edward was racked by a decision, a not uncommon problem amongst male members of his family, Sophie remained coolly determined. She was not prepared to let the relationship flounder. When rumors of the rift became public she dismissed them as rubbish. She was being elastic with the truth, but it did give her the breathing space she needed to get her relationship back on track again. By Christmas time in 1994, everything was back on track in the relationship. Sophie and Prince Edward announced their engagement a few years later on January 6, 1999. Edward proposed with an engagement ring featuring a two-karat oval diamond made by Asprey and Gaird, worth £105,000.
