We all know that the Countess of Wessex loves a skinny trouser and she looked delightfully festive in a cosy ensemble during a surprise appearance last week.

Sophie, 55, joined the York Road Project as a volunteer at their temporary facility in the HG Wells Conference Centre in Woking on 10 December.

The charity, which provides support and accommodation to those experiencing homelessness in the area, shared photos of the Countess' visit on Thursday.

Sophie teamed her wine-coloured skinny trousers with a dark green roll neck jumper and a navy blazer as she helped to pack weekly goody bags for the charity's clients, which contain items such as fruit, snacks, toiletries and other necessities.

"It was a real joy to have her helping to cook the evening meal for our clients, and meeting with staff and volunteers to hear their stories."

With the support of Woking Borough Council, the charity was able to access the Woking Hotel which adjoins HG Wells Conference Centre offering 22 clients their own room with ensuite, to ensure they did not rough sleep. An additional ten beds have also been built in one of the empty halls at HG Wells.
