Update. Daily Mail & Hello shared first quote by The Countess of Wessex. In newly released clip Sophie explains why HM The Queen likes to choose bright colours for public engagements: "Don't forget that when she turns up somewhere, the crowds are, you know, two, three, four, ten, 15 deep, and somebody wants to be able to say they saw a bit of the Queen's hat as she went past. She needs to stand out for people to be able to say 'I saw the Queen."

Robert Hardman - writer of 'Our Queen' & 'Our Queen at Ninety' mentions "We pick up plenty of engaging insights, too, during a wide-ranging chat with the Countess of Wessex". That's all I know for now, there are no quotes or short clips yet. However if you are interested in what have been released so far, I have covered that on my twin blog, for The Duchess of Cambridge.
