looked on top form today (28 April) as she stepped out for a busy day of The Duchess, 60, started her day in Aldershot, Hampshire, where she officially opened the latest hub of The Lighthouse - a charity which helps and encourages people in need.

As she arrived, Sophie, who is Patron of the organisation, beamed as she was greeted outside the community centre. She first became involved with the charity in November 2022 and has given much of her time volunteering at The Lighthouse, last visiting .

The charity, which has a handful of hubs across Surrey and Hampshire, helps a number of different people including those who experience loneliness.

The charity also helps individuals with mental or physical health challenges, people who have experienced violence in the home, households struggling with the cost of living crisis, refugees and anyone else in need.

During her visit, the Duchess, who looked typically chic in a dark-coloured suit with a white shirt, was given a tour of the space, met volunteers and spoke with guests who have already received practical support from the centre. She then unveiled a plaque to mark the opening and planted a raspberry bush to celebrate the importance of cultivating community-based initiatives.

Sophie's visit to Aldershot today was the first of three royal engagements for the Duchess on Monday.

After spending time at , the Duchess will visit The Princess Margaret Hospital in Windsor to mark its 45th anniversary.

The visit will see the Duchess tour the hospital, including visiting the children's ward, and meet clinical staff and patients.

Later in the day, she will also attend a reception for the Women in Business Group of The Duke of Edinburgh's Award at The Peninsula London.

It is another cause that holds a special place in her heart, as both she and Prince Edward have long played an active role in the Duke of Edinburgh Awards scheme, which was originally launched by the late Prince Philip in 1956.
