British actress Sophie Winkleman is not a fan of royal life. Sophie married Frederick Windsor, the son of Queen Elizabeth’s first cousin Prince Michael of Kent, in 2009. Her acting credits include Two and a Half Men and Peep Show.
Known as Lady Frederick Windsor, she has two daughters, Maud, 12, and Isabella, 9. The family regularly attends British royal family events with Prince William and Kate Middleton.
Lady Frederick Windsor calls the royal family’s lives “brutal”
Sophie spoke of her opinion to U.K. newspaper The Times, saying, “The more I get to know the royal family, the more I get that their lives are total hell and that level of unasked-for fame is a form of torture. None of them went on [the U.K. reality music competition] Pop Idol or something to be famous. To have that sort of blinding spotlight in your face from when you’re born, not knowing quite whom you can trust, not knowing if someone’s going to betray you, people writing lies about you the whole time, is just brutal.”
Last May, Sophie spoke with the U.K. newspaper, The Telegraph, commenting, “So we got married on Saturday and moved everything, our whole lives, out to America the day after. And I’d been so concentrating on the work that I hadn’t thought about the wedding.” She added, this “meant that my hair was so disgusting, and Freddie still gets upset about it. It was just disgusting. It was such a blur because we had to move to Los Angeles the day after [the wedding], and I had to start a brand new job the day after that.”
Despite her comments, Sophie said she is a big fan of her husband’s family and loves them all.
