HRH Sophie, Countess of Wessex visits Thalatta

The junior crew from Frewen College in North Sussex got to meet a royal visitor when HRH Sophie, Countess of Wessex came on board Thalatta at Brightlingsea, where she attended the relaunch of the smack Priscilla. HRH The Countess of Wessex talked at length with the children and was shown below deck to see the accommodation. She even hopped in a hammock to try it out!
