And I'm back as Sophie attended day 9 of 2015 Wimbledon Championships. HRH has taken seat at Royal Box on Centre Court to see Murray win against Vasek Pospisil in the mens quarter-final.
Sophie looked lovely as ever in a dress we've seen for the first time during Ascot, of Alice Lee design. She had a pretty updo, not sure how to call it in English, but French braid should do.
Sophie was sitting next to Prince William who attended along with his wife, Catherine. Next to the Sophie (on her left) we saw Monegasque Ambassador to the UK, Evelyne Genta and Prince Albert of Monaco.
From pictures it looks like our royal trio was enjoing their free time at Wimbledon, they were seen laughing, clapping and cheering on. They looked very happy seeing Andy Murray win.

I also spotted Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, Lady Helen Taylor - stylish as ever and Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, who is a President of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.
Story behind a picture below: During the match on Centre Court, an announcement was made regarding the strike on the London Underground prompting Prince William to pretend to leave, much to the amusement of The Countess of Wessex.
Back in 2010 Express did an article saying that 'Sophie was approached a few years ago [before 2010] to take on a more patron-like role for the Wimbledon Championships but didn’t want to be seen following in the footsteps of her tennis-mad sister-in-law, Diana, the Princess of Wales,” the friend added. Now time has past and there is to be a new chairman of the club, however, (Philip Brook will succeed Tim Phillips, 68, who steps down after 11 years) she seems more enthusiastic. “Sophie has indicated that she would be interested in being more involved and attending more regularly,” the friend said'. Full article here.
And indeed, since 2013 we have seen Sophie attending Wimbleon on regular basis, just once a year, but still. According to Express, The Countess is a 'keen tennis fan and learned to play at her prep school in Kent'. We should also remember that she met her future husband, Prince Edward at a publicity event for the “real” version of the game, which she also plays.

Few more pictures at Daily Mail. I'll be back tomorrow as Sophie has 3 engagements, and on Friday as well. Rest of the summer is looking to be rather quiet.
Outfit & jewellery: Dress by Alice Lee, made for HRH. Back-to-Front Pearl earrings by Heavenly Necklaces. I also spotted coat, most likely her birthday one by Prada. New clutch, I am not 100% sure, but suspect Stella McCartney. Sadly I don't have a HQ pic of Sophie arriving/departing to show you good a close up.
