The Duchess of Edinburgh had a 'pawsome' day out as she made some new furry friends during a heartwarming outing – and royal fans were delighted by the photos.

Sophie, 59, joined children in crafting and decorating spooky Halloween biscuits for their buddy dogs, at the event hosted at Guide Dogs' Reading Hub on Thursday.

The royal mum-of-two, who took over as patron of the charity from Princess Alexandra in 2021, appeared to be in her element as she enjoyed cuddles with the pooches.

Hands-on as ever, the Duchess helped to mix the ingredients together for the dog biscuits, leaning down to chat with youngsters as they took part in the family fun day.
