Although the youngest of four sisters, Sophie was the first to wed, marrying her second cousin-once-removed Prince Christoph of Hesse — on 15 December in Kronberg , Berlin ; she was Sophie's second marriage was to her cousin Prince George William of Hanover who was a second cousin through Christian IX and a third cousin through Victoria to Sophie, and he also was a first cousin-once-removed of Sophie's first husband, Christoph , in descent from Victoria, Princess Royal on 23 April in Salem , Baden.
Sophie's marriage to George William constitutes the only known case of permission to marry being withheld by the British sovereign from a descendant of King George II , who had been obliged to solicit Royal authorisation to marry by the Royal Marriages Act When George William's father, Ernest Augustus III, Duke of Brunswick and Head of the House of Hanover , submitted the request to marry on his son's behalf—a formality his branch of George III 's descendants had continued to observe even after obtaining the German crowns of the Kingdom of Hanover in and the Duchy of Brunswick in [5] —despite the fact that the dynastic titles and peerages of the Hanovers had been suspended since , no British monarch had withheld marital authorisation to any kinsman or kinswoman who sought it.
Although there was apparently no question of officially denying the request, the British government advised the king that it would be of dubious "propriety" to give royal assent to his cousin's petition. George VI then sought to arrange to have the Hanovers informally advised that the exigencies of war, rather than personal disapproval, prevented him from approving the marriage to Sophie whose brother, Philip, would become informally engaged to the King's elder daughter, after years of courtship, a few months later.
But after internal consultation the British government blocked the endeavour on the grounds that any such communication could be subsequently misconstrued. Thus, no official reply was made to the Duke of Brunswick's correspondence, the couple wed without George VI's consent, and after the war the practice of British monarchs receiving and acquiescing to requests to marry from the Hanovers resumed.
At the time British officials reviewing the matter considered that the marriage and its issue would not be legitimate in the United Kingdom, having failed to obtain the prior consent of the King in Council.
The repeal of the Royal Marriage Act as part of implementation of the Succession to the Crown Act does not specifically address the unique situation of the descendants of Sophie and George William's marriage deemed legal in Germany. The latter act does not confer legitimacy upon the children of a marriage which formerly required approval under the Royal Marriage Act, if such approval was sought but not obtained. Nor does it confer succession rights upon a descendant of any marriage which has already transpired, if such rights were not already extant.
She was a godmother to their son, Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex. Sophie was often seen at events such as the annual Windsor Horse Show in the presence of her brother and his family. She was survived by her second husband, seven of her eight children and her younger brother, Prince Philip.
