- Taking part in the tournament herself, Sophie was photographed donning full camouflage while trying her hand at gaming.

Royal fans were thrilled to see the Sophie Wessex, who lives at Bagshot Park with husband Prince Edward and children Lady Louise Windsor and James Viscount Severn, giving it her all as she took part in the contest.
Looking the part, Sophie joined members of various military regiments to compete and was snapped reclining in a gaming chair, rocking a huge pair of headphones and gripping a steering wheel controller as she intently took on a virtual car race.
More images from the special day were shared on The Royal Family Instagram page, showing Sophie smiling with her teammates and getting stuck into the official engagement.
“Going head to head for the Cup were personnel from RAF Wittering, the Royal Corps of Army Music, Queen Alexandra’s Royal Army Nursing Corps , HMS Daring and the 5th Battalion, The Rifles. HRH’s Canadian Regiments joined in remotely,” the caption beside the upload explained.
