This isn't the first time the mother-of-two has worn stylish wide-legged trousers -in fact, it appears to be one of her favourite looks.

Countess Sophie sported an array of enviable pairs during summer 2022, with trousers purchased from brands including high street hero Jigsaw and luxury labels such as Victoria Beckham.

The 57-year-old favours a baggy trew in winter too, wearing a berry red pair for a festive outing with Queen Elizabeth II in December 2019. If you love Sophie's look, shop her style below...
