A small round white table placed beneath an oil painting includes baby photographs – presumably one of Edward and Sophie's two children, Lady Louise, now 17, and 13-year-old James, Viscount Severn.

Sophie is stood in front of a wooden display cabinet featuring an array of ornamental plates – but taking pride of place is a snapshot that appears to be of Prince Edward and Lady Louise taken at the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's wedding in 2011, at which the then-seven-year-old acted as a bridesmaid.

During her chat with the British Fashion Council, Sophie was asked about her personal style icons.

Asked whose style she most admired, the 56-year-old replied: "Angelina Jolie - I always think she looks amazing - and also Queen Rania of Jordan always looks stunning."

Prince Edward and Sophie have called Bagshot Park in Surrey their home for more than 20 years now. It is located approximately 11 miles south of Windsor, where the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh are staying at Windsor Castle.

Spanning 51 acres, the property sits within a designated area of Windsor Great Park, which is adjacent to the private Home Park where Windsor Castle is situated.

In a past interview with Sky News, the Countess explained: "We're a lot more fortunate because we live so close to the Queen, so when she spends a lot of time at Windsor on the weekends, our children are more fortunate because they can go over and have tea with her on a regular basis."
