Before she married into the Royal Family, the Countess was better known as Sophie Rhys Jones.
She met her husband for the first time in 1987 while she was working at Capital Radio.

In 1993, they reportedly met again at a charity event and soon began dating.
After dating for six years, they announced their engagement on January 6 1999.
