The Duchess of Edinburgh glowed as she stepped out at the Royal Windsor Flower Show on Saturday, June 7. Prince Edward’s wife, almost perfectly perfectly courtseyed to her brother-in-law King Charles, if it wasn’t for her fashion fail.
Sophie, 60, who sweetly smiled as she knelt, nearly lost her shoe as she bent down too low. The royal, who is a huge supporter of functional fashion, donned the ‘Colina’ style wedges by Penelope Chilvers – a go-to brand of the Duchesses. However, they were perhaps less practical than she thought, as the King was snapped holding onto her arms and caught her.
Duchess Sophie flew the flag for British fashion and looked effortlessly elegant in the vibrant cobalt blue floral dress, perfect for the annual summer garden event. She was seen in a ME + EM midi dress that featured a chic bluebell print. She layered the bold print with a classic navy corduroy blazer from Frame, adding a touch of structure to the relaxed look.
Her nude wedge heels completed the outfit, striking a balance between comfort and polish.
The mother of two swept her blonde locks into an effortlessly refined ponytail and kept her jewellery simple and classy.
Sophie was snapped wearing two stacking rings by royal favourite Monica Vinader. The British label is renowned for their sustainable designs and affordable collections.
Sophie rarely accompanies the King on joint engagements, but the duo appeared in good spirits as they chatted with gardener and broadcaster Alan Titchmarsh.
This came just one day after she headed out on a rare joint outing with her nephew, the Prince of Wales.
Prince William, 43, who is also known as the Duke of Cornwall, attended the Royal Cornwall Show on June 6. The pair were snapped joking around and getting stuck in and trying local produce.
The renowned style icon wore a pale pink silk blouse by Vince with a decidedly autumnal tan suede midi skirt by Paige, which is a new addition to her wardrobe.
Pretty pale pink hues have become a staple this season, and the Duchess turned heads in a similar look at the start of the month.
Sophie wore a stunning Gabriela Hearst dress to attend an exhibition at the Imperial War Museum. Her long blush-pink shirt dress, crafted from 100% silk, features a sharp collar and a waist-cinching tie belt.
