Sophia Pompilia (née: Tullia; born 3 August 1966) is a Latin patrician, millionaire and wife of the current Consul, Alexander Pompilius. Prior to her husband's tenure as Consul, Pompilia served as President of Children's Health Initiative charity. She previously worked at The Count of Dertona Foundation as Chief Coordinating Director and before that at PharmaTul. She was appointed as Chairperson of United Latium after the party's formation in January 2017.

Early life and education

Sophia was born on 3 August 1966 as the eldest child of Michael Tullius and Rhode Insteia at Villa ad Petra Laurea. She has one younger sister, Petronia. Her father was and third son of Justin Tullius, 9th Count of Dertona and Sophia Prisca-Sulpicia. Her father was also a prominent businessman and politician, serving as CEO of PharmaTul from 1961 to 1996 and 2000 until his death in 2003. He was also a member of the Belisarian Commission from 1996 until 2000. Her mother is the eldest daughter of Gabriel Insteia, 3rd Count of Sablones and Maria Terentia.

She was educated at Hagia Sophia Academy for her primary education, and attended Pescia Academy in Adrianople for her secondary education. Following her commencement, she enrolled at Castellum College to study chemistry and environmental health.

Family

It was during her time at Castellum College that Sophia met her husband, Alexander. The pair first met in 1984 at a Conservative student body event during Sophia's first year as a student. Alexander was had been a prominent leader of the organization at the time and was introduced to Sophia by her classmate, Philippa Chryselios. Their first date was reportedly at Ristorante Ebor, a prestegious Castellum-based restaurant.

The two continued to date following Alexander's graduation from Castellum Law. They would get married just before Sophia's third year at Castellum in 1986. At the time, Alexander was an advisor to the Conservative Party leader, two years before he would become a Senator. Together, Sophia and Alexander have one child - Anna, who was born on 13 March 1998. Sophia and her husband maintain homes in Castellum, Anavio in county Samarobriva, and her childhood home in Elúsion.

Sophia's father, Michael, passed away in 2003 following a heart attack, leaving Sophia and her sister, Petronia, as chief heirs to his nearly £500 million estate.

Career

After her graduation from Castellum in 1988, Sophia earned employment at PharmaTul, a pharmaceutical company run by her father. She would only work for PharmaTul for six months before being appointed Chief Coordinating Director at the Count of Dertona Foundation.

Charitable work

Sophia worked as Chief Coordinating Director at the Count of Dertona Foundation from spring 1989 until 1992. During her time as CCD, Sophia primarily worked as an intermediary between the foundation and other charities, often determining which funds would be awarded where. From 1989 until 1992, the Foundation primarily sought to fund charities relating to children's health, poverty and inner city students. Following her departure from Dertona Foundation, Sophia created the Children's Health Initiative - a charity . She served as President of the organization from its founding in 2004 until spring 2016 when he husband became Consul.

Politics

Sophia has been active in politics since her first year of university, where she was a member of Conservative Student Union - the youth organization for the Conservative Party. She had been an active member in the party from 1985 until its dissolution in 2017, where she became Chairman of the party's successor - United Latium.

Pompilia's political leanings have been self-described as mainstream conservative beliefs, falling in line with all major platforms of the former Conservative Party. However on one occasion, Pompilia announced her displeasure at the passage of the Morality Acts in 2013, citing that the new laws were "unnecessarily cruel," and that the previous laws held the proper balance between the government's, church and popular interests.

Styles, honors and arms

Styles

  • 3 August 1966 - 18 July 1986: Lady Sophia Tullia
  • 18 July 1986 - present: Mrs. Sophia Pompilia

As the granddaughter of a Latin peer, Sophia was entitled to the rank of "Lady" throughout her childhood and adult life prior to her marriage. Normally women in Latium take on the titles and styles of their husband, with the rank of a typical female being equal to her husbands. Under the usual norms and rules, Sophia would have been properly addressed as "Mrs. Alexander Pompilius" following her marriage; however, due to the Sophia's rank as a patrician and her husband's as a commoner, Sophia was entitled to be styled as "Mrs. Sophia Pompilia."
