Sophie, who is Patron of Transform, discovered how the organisation has been supporting homeless and vulnerable individuals during the Covid-19 pandemic. Embracing a laid-back look for the visit, the 56-year-old royal recycled her Prada leather jacket, worn layered over a simple white blouse. She dressed the casual ensemble up with a pair of high-waisted blue Alberta Ferretti trousers.
