She is being accompanied by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon, the Prime Minister’s special representative on preventing sexual violence in conflict.

As she met with representatives from TRIAL International; a non-governmental organisation which is dedicated to fighting impunity for international crimes in conflict, mum of two Sophie showed off her affable nature which has won her many fans.
