There's one member of the Royal Family who frequently stays out of the spotlight.
Lady Frederick Windsor, better known as Sophie Winkleman, has revealed her family has always fully supported her professional pursuits. As an accomplished actress, she has appeared in popular shows including Two and a Half Men, Peep Show, and This is Going to Hurt. Yet she's also a Royal Family member who sometimes appears alongside senior royals.
Sophie Lara Winkleman was born in Primrose Hill, London, on August 5, 1980, to Cindy Black and Barry Winkleman. While she isn't the only actress to marry into the Royal Family, her situation differs from Meghan Markle's as she continued her acting work following her marriage. It comes as Princess Eugenie gave birth to her third child, as the baby received no royal title.

Lady Frederick Windsor, her official title, joined the late Queen on Buckingham Palace's balcony multiple times and is frequently photographed at royal occasions. Sophie built her reputation through her performances as Big Suze in Peep Show, Zoey in Two and a Half Men and as the older version of Susan Pevensie in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, reports the Express.

She met Lord Frederick Windsor, son of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, and the couple wed at Hampton Court Palace with all the senior royals in attendance.
While her royal title is Lady Frederick Windsor, she maintains her maiden name for her acting work. In an interview with The Times from 2020, she said, "I've been incredibly welcomed with open arms by all of them. I haven't had a single negative experience.
"The Queen's been wonderful, Prince Charles has been wonderful, Prince William's been heaven. They'd never tell me off at all if I wanted to play some [racy] role. Everyone's looked after me. Oh God, please don't make me sound too gushing."

After tying the knot, Sophie and Frederick relocated to the US so Sophie could continue building her acting career. During their time in California, the couple welcomed their first daughter, Maud Elizabeth Daphne Marina Windsor, in 2013.
Sitting 53rd in line to the throne, Maud's name pays tribute to multiple royal forebears. Her first name honors Queen Maud of Norway, a daughter of King Edward VII, while Elizabeth commemorates the late Queen.
The pair eventually returned to the UK and had their second daughter, Isabella Alexandra May Windsor, at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital on January 16, 2016.
