Cover girl! The Countess of Wessex has appeared in a stunning new photo for the October issue of Good Housekeeping magazine, with the royal giving an interview to the publication as patron of the NSPCC and Childline.
Sophie looks beautiful in a white woven dress on the cover of the magazine, accessorised with a silver circle necklace and her pretty drop earrings from heavenly necklaces.
A chic updo and natural, glowing makeup complete the look - though we couldn't help but notice that Sophie doesn't appear to be wearing her engagement ring and wedding band in the portrait.

Instead, she seems to be wearing a couple of embellished silver bands on her left-hand ring finger.
The royal also shared snaps of her visit to join Childline volunteers for a shift in June, which saw her wear a chic camouflage French Connection dress, which is still available to shop in limited sizes for £60.

"If children feel they can discuss issues and worries with their parents, without fear of them, or their friends, being judged, this may give opportunity to help them with what can be a complex and very pressured area. It's so important that young people have adults in their lives who support and affirm them. Particularly when the virtual world can be, at times, unkind."

The Countess took over the Queen's NSPCC patronage in 2016. "This was the first patronage that Her Majesty asked me to take on and I accepted the honour immediately," she said.
