She's a mother-of-two but despite her children now being aged 12 and 8, Sophie, Countess of Wessex proved she hasn't forgotten how to handle a little one.
The Countess of Wessex, 51, showed her maternal skills as she cradled and played with babies and toddlers on a school visit in London on Thursday.
The royal, who looked resplendent in red, was on a visit to the Nursery at Waverley Preparatory School Finchampstead, Wokingham, Berkshire.

The blonde mother-of-two giggled with glee as she threw a little toddler into the air.
She also got stuck into the day's activities by crawling around on the floor with the little ones in their arts and crafts lesson.
Sophie also partook in games with the reception class members and seemed to be thoroughly enjoying her day out.
She was dressed to impress in a red wrap coat - no doubt as a mark of respect ahead of Remembrance Day - and wore a poppy brooch and carried a clutch bag emblazoned with the flower.
Beneath her coat, she wore a black jumper and black tailored trousers and wore her hair in its signature low chignon.

The royal has been lending her time to children a lot lately. Earlier this month she joined Colombia's first lady, Maria Clemencia Rodriguez de Santos, on a tour of a west London nursery school, founded by Oscar-winning actress Vanessa Redgrave, and a nearby children's centre that provides a range of services from midwifery and health visitors to play sessions.
Mrs Rodriguez de Santos had joined her husband, Colombian president Juan Manuel Santos, on his historic three-day trip to the UK, the first state visit by a leader of the South American nation.
In Cathnor Park Children's Centre - run by Michele Barrett, executive head teacher of Vanessa Nursery School - the countess and Mrs Rodriguez de Santos joined mothers and their babies who were aged up to 10 months.
The babies were lying on their bellies for the interactive music sessions, with their mothers sat beside them, when the leader got the group to sing a song.
Sophie, who has two children with the Earl of Wessex, picked up one baby called Maggie and bounced her on her knee after chatting to her mother.
She had taken off her stiletto heels and knelt down in her grey dress by Suzannah.
