Countess Sophie, Countess of Wessex, kicked
off December in true festive style as she got involved in Christmas-themed
activities on Wednesday.
She visited the Disability Initiative in
Camberley, Surrey, to take part in interactive sessions with clients ahead of
the United Nations International Day of Persons with a Disability on Friday.
The royal mother-of-two was in great spirits
as she donned a Santa headband during a music and drama session. The Countess
has been a patron of Disability Initiative since 2003, a charity that specializes
in the provision of disability services to adults with physical disabilities
and/or acquired brain injury.
Sophie showed off her creative skills as she
took part in a wreath-making session. We wonder if she’ll be giving it pride of
place on her front door at her Surrey home, Bagshot Park.
The Countess added hessian bows and
ribbons to her festive centrepiece.
Wearing a colour block outfit consisting of a
cobalt blue jumper and olive green trousers, we think Sophie’s Santa headband
was the perfect accessory for her Christmas-themed outing.
The Countess appeared to be in her element as
she joined the music and drama session. The Wessexes are quite the theatrical
family, with Sophie’s husband, Prince Edward, once owning his own company,
Ardent Productions.
Sophie always likes to be hands-on during her
royal engagements, and it was great to see her showing off her fun side.
Next up was chocolate Christmas
sculpture-making! The Countess donned an apron and gloves as she moulded her
creation.
We
think Sophie’s chocolate robin redbreast is almost too cute to eat! We wonder
if she took home some treats for her children, Lady Louise Windsor and
James, Viscount Severn?
