Prince Edward and his
wife, the Countess of Wessex, were in high spirits as they headed out on a
joint royal outing on Tuesday.
The couple had great fun at
the Agricultural Society’s Education Day on the Isle of Wight, where they
joined local school children for some Platinum Jubilee-themed pizza making.
Photos shared on the Royal
Family social media accounts show Sophie and Edward in their element as they
spoke to youngsters while showing off their skills in the kitchen.
One very sweet photo shows
Edward, dressed in his apron, bending down to talk to a little girl and gently
placing his hand on her shoulder, while proud Sophie looks on.

Sophie helping a little boy put the toppings on his pizza dough, while Edward
was also photographed trying his hand at stitching bunting together on a sewing
machine.
Fabs adored the candid
snapshots, with one noting: “Such a lovely couple.” “Just so natural. Great to
see them out and about more!” a second shared. Thousands of other showed their
support with love hearts and applause emojis.

The royal couple have a very natural rapport with children
Edward and Sophia have been
married since 1999 and are proud parents to two children – Lady Louise,
18, and James, Viscount Seven, 14.
They are considered among the
most down-to-earth royals despite the fact their public profile has increased
in recent years.

It’s something they have
instilled in their children, who, despite their lineage, are unlikely to ever
take on official royal roles.
“We try to bring them up
with the understanding they are very likely to have to work for a living,”
Sophie told The Sunday Times in 2020. “Hence we made the decision not to
use HRH titles. They have them and can decide to use them from 18, but I think
it’s highly unlikely.”

Sophie has said Edward is ‘very engaged as a father’
The Countess also spoke
lovingly about her husband and his role within their family.
“He is very good at
barbecues, and the children love those. He takes our son fishing, does a lot of
riding with our daughter, he is very engaged as a father.”
