'What a lovely lady': Sophie Wessex in gorgeous £576 dress for heartbreaking BBC interview

Sophie, Countess of Wessex, opted for a DVF Diane von Furstenberg dress. The dress cost £576 and is covered in a geometric, pretty print.

Fans were quick to praise the royal. One wrote: “What a lovely lady, it’s refreshing to see some of the royals really stepping up and communicating with everybody.”

“What a wonderful woman, truly compassionate and empathetic,” one wrote. “The Countess of Wessex follows in the footsteps of other royals, shining a spotlight on charities and causes and NOT on themselves.”

One fan wrote: “Seems like she’s really stepped up as a spokesperson for the family since Prince Philip’s illness and passing and she’s doing it well, filling a gap.”

Another said: “Sophie’s kids were so close to the Duke, especially Louise who he used to teach carriage driving. Must be hard for them like any other family.”

It featured a low-cut v-neck and a tie around the waist.

The long sleeves featured a ruffled cuff, and she paired it with matching shoes.

On her head, Sophie wore a large fascinator, with flower detail.

She wore her blonde hair in a chic bun and held a nude clutch bag.
