SHINING LIGHT - SOPHIE'S WINNING ALL OUR HEARTS

Putting her best foot forward last week, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, again showed why she is such an asset to King Charles’ line-up of senior royals. Shining a spotlight on one of her key charitable interests – helping those with disabilities – the 58-year-old visited Christopher’s, a Shooting Star Children’s Hospice in Guildford, Surrey.

Elegantly dressed in a white dress and navy blazer, the duchess was seen smiling and laughing with young patients, taking part in arts and crafts activities, planting a tree in the grounds – and getting a kiss from an enthusiastic therapy dog.
