Love when this couple do joint royal tours as it is so rare. Great to see them supporting things that interest them on this visit. Tennis yesterday for Edward and MENCAP related engagement today for Sophie. Sophie always looks so natural around children so it's always lovely to see.

Love Sophie's dress on their first day when they visited Third Space Global.
