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.

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.
