As the princess of a country, Sophie had official duties to perform. Before she became an adult, she had to travel all over the country. After she became an adult, she was even assigned many official duties overseas.
However, she really did not like these things. After she turned 22 years old, she informed her family that she did not want to perform any official duties anymore. At the same time, she did not accept the royal family's subsidies anymore. She would be responsible for all her expenses.
Since the child had clearly expressed her dislike, the royal family had never made Sophie attend official functions again.
Princess Sophie slowly faded from the public eye, not to mention that she was a foreign princess. Chinese people would not pay special attention to her.
Therefore, when she came to live in China, no one recognized Sophie at all. She could live the life of an ordinary person.
