The Countess of Wessex and Prince Edward were out and about for a joint engagement earlier this week (17 May), as they paid a visit to a Covid-19 vaccination centre.

The royal couple went to the Bath & West event venue in Somerset, which has become one of the county's largest vaccination centres during the pandemic.

During the visit, Sophie and Edward met with NHS staff as well as volunteers helping to work on the ongoing vaccine progamme.

A series of photos from their latest joint engagement were shared by the Somerset NHS Foundation Trust on Twitter, showing the couple chatting away while respecting social distancing rules and wearing face masks.

Both royals looked smart for the appearance, with Prince Edward opting for a traditional tweed jacket, while Sophie looked as chic as ever in a navy and white ensemble.

Her dark blue jacket was tailored with a cinched-in waist, and paired perfectly with what looks like a pleated cream midi skirt, although she may have been wearing a dress.

Sophie completed her look with a classic khaki clutch bag, and wore her hair pulled back with a barrette in her signature low ponytail.

This is the second time we have seen Sophie and Edward out and about in the last fortnight, after they attended Frimley Park Hospital near their home in Surrey on 12 May in honour of International Nursing Day.
