Many people seeing this script will note the similarity to the writing of Princess Diana as it has been seen in the media for so many reasons, not least on products that are linked to her memorial fund.
However, though the two ladies have much in common, there are also clear differences. Sophie has a more reserved element in her script, with leftward tendencies and yet she presents her signature with confidence. The simplicity of style and the underline show that she is happy to stand up and be counted and yet, it will be on her terms. The upright script, with a slight left slant will ensure that.
The sample available is small, so there may be features missing that could provide more information. With what is shown, it is likely that Sophie is less flamboyant than Diana. There is not such a flourish and socially relaxed style. However, the size of the two scripts is similar, indicating the ability to live in the present, not to question the future too much but to make the most of what happens as each day unfolds.
Another similarity is the varying middle zone, indicating the tendency to respond to the mood of the environment. Both scripts also show a wish to be left to act without interference. Once they have started on a course of action, it is easier to get to the end of it, rather than trying to juggle a variety of demands at the same time.
Sophie has an unusual feature in her script and that is the lower case 'e', which is like a number 6. In this style of script, number shapes are likely to indicate a recognition of the value of things. She will be aware of how she is using resources, which will be good news for the clients she has in her professional role in PR.
The overall emphasis from this writing is of a lady who likes to have a pleasant and enjoyable life, who wants to take one day at a time and operate in an environment where she is free to be herself and do things her way, while still enjoying a social atmosphere.
She relies upon the goodwill that comes from those with whom she is at the time and would be much less effective trying to struggle through a negative atmosphere. If she needs to be in the public eye, she is likely to be so as part of her job. What comes across is someone who is competent and able to think for herself, who will co-operate when it is politic to do so, but not be attention seeking at other times. She likes her privacy, but also enjoys good times with her friends. A commonsense approach that enables her to be well-mannered but not particularly expressive, because she doesn't want to draw attention to herself unnecessarily.
As the wife of a royal prince, she will be outgoing enough to communicate effectively when it is necessary, but discreet enough to stay self contained. The abbreviated lower zone of the script indicates her wish to get tasks underaken and completed as promptly as she can. She would prefer to be busy and have a role that is clearly defined, so that she knows what is wanted and can provide it. That will then leave her free to get on with her own priorities.
A pleasant young lady, a girl of her time, who knows the social score and can handle it with charm and confidence.
