The Countess of Wessex carried out a surprise visit to a Surrey farm on Thursday, as part of her role as patron of the Association of Show and Agricultural Organisations (ASAO).
Wearing a smart-casual ensemble of outerwear, a navy sweater, jeans and tan knee-high boots, Sophie, 55, was pictured talking with the farmer and his family at Coverwood Farm.
HELLO! understands that the Countess was there to hear about the importance of local food production, the challenges faced by farmers as a result of coronavirus and the opportunities facing farmers and food producers to meet the growing interest in supporting and buying locally and sustainably.
