The wife of Prince Edward swept her blonde hair into an elegant up-do, wearing her tresses in a low bun placed neatly beneath the brim of her co-ordinating velvet hat.

The Countess accessorised her figure-flattering ensemble with statement pearl cluster earrings, adding a natural bronze eyeshadow, rosy blush and soft pink lip to complete her ageless beauty glow.
