Sophie, Countess of Wessex has been tested for the coronavirus after she landed in South Sudan to carry out a royal tour on behalf of the Queen.
Her Majesty’s daughter-in-law, who is married to the monarch’s youngest son Prince Edward, landed in the North African country earlier this week & was met with a thermometer to check whether she had any symptoms of the worldwide virus. ‘Very pleased to welcome HRH The Countess of Wessex to South Sudan today, to support Women’s participation & efforts to prevent & address gender based violence,’ wrote Her Majesty’s Ambassador to South Sudan Chris Trott on his Twitter feed.
