The Countess of Wessex took part in an afternoon of festive activities on Thursday (3 December) during her latest charity engagement.

Sophie attended the Camberley Resource Centre in support of the Disability Initiative, a charity for adults with disabilities, which provides care and rehabilitation to help people reach their full potential and remain as independent as possible.

The royal helped build plenty of festive cheer, as she decorated Christmas baubles and whipped up a batch of flapjacks during the visit.

The countess – who wore a stylish floral face mask during the socially distanced appearance – looked both elegant and festive in a burgundy midi skirt, worn with a classic black polo neck jumper and heeled black boots. She accessorised with a simple gold necklace and wore her hair up in a loose ponytail.

This is the second time we have seen Sophie show off her baking skills in recent weeks, after she took part in a charity challenge last month that saw her make an impressive 55 cheese and bacon scones.
