The Countess, of Wessex grabbed a brush to help with the painting workshop she was leading for youth with learning disabilities on a recent charity trip.
Sophie, 56, who lives with Prince Edward, 57, at their home, Bagshot Park, with their children Lady Louise Windsor, 17, and James Viscount Severn, 13, stepped out to visit two Surrey based adult disability charities last week.
The royal joined adults at The Meath Epilepsy Charity for a meaningful and enjoyable session in up-cycling furniture and creating homeware, with the mother-of-two picking up a paintbrush to paint a chair.
Meanwhile she also visited the Guildford based day service for young people with learning disabilities ‘the halow project’.

Sophie pulled her long, blonde hair into a neat ponytail to celebrate the event. She also wore neutral makeup.
She wore a warm brown polo neck and paired it with green pants. She could also be seen rolling her sleeves while she worked with young people during the charity visit.
It’s been a busy month for Sophie, who recently encouraged people to get their eyes checked this World Sight Day as she visited children with learning disabilities at a London school while they received a sight test.
The Royal also spoke out about the plight of women who have to give up their careers due to the menopause.

Sophie addressed the audience with passion, stating that 40-year-old women are “fabulous” and should be celebrated.
The Countess has been keeping extremely busy as she also joined her husband Prince Edward on a visit to a market in Northern Ireland on September 23.
She was caught by surprise as she sampled fiery whiskey during the visit and grimaced after taking a sip of the drink on a visit to Elmfield Estate, on the the outskirts of Gilford, Co Down.
Edward and Sophie met artisans, local producers, and customers at the market’s monthly whole-foods and wellness markets.

The couple had carried out a number of engagements in Northern Ireland, including a stop at Craigavon’s South Lake Leisure Centre.
They also visited Craigmore Trees which supplies the Centenary Trees for Schools program, and met with staff.
The schoolchildren from the area had chosen a tree as a way to commemorate the NI Centenary.
She was later seen with a shield on her face as she talked to others at the Surrey charity workshop.
The couple left the market and headed to Lisburn Museum to see the award-winning exhibition ‘Flax to Fabric. It traces the history of Ulster’s linen production, as well as live spinning demonstrations.
They also had the opportunity to view the design and watch the museum’s handloom weaver weaving a damask linen napkin commissioned to mark the granting of Royal status to nearby Hillsborough Village.
Edward and Sophie were also given a tour by the multi-use leisure and sports complex and had a chat with staff at the facilities.
Last week’s outing in Surrey saw the mother-of-2 choose a tan-and-green ensemble.
