On Tuesday, Prince Edward and his wife the Countess of Wessex arrived in Moray, Scotland, for a day of engagements serving to recognise community organisations, volunteers and young people across the region.

Looking as stunning as ever, Sophie wore a delightful outfit consisting of an incredible white pleated skirt. We love this style; it's a timeless cut that would suit every woman's shape. Full marks! She teamed it with a floral top and a dazzling beige blazer, and added a pair of Mary Jane shoes by Penelope Chilvers. She wore her hair in a chic chignon and her makeup looked as natural and flawless as ever.

On Monday, Sophie looked dreamy in her dream dress

They also presented over 120 pupils with their special Moray Badge ‘Platinum Jubilee’ and heard about their experiences completing the Badge. The Moray Badge - which is unique to Moray and Banffshire - has been reintroduced for 2022 as a special celebration to mark The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. The Moray Badge was originally established by Kurt Hahn at Gordonstoun in 1936 and is widely recognised as being a predecessor of The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, with The Duke himself having been awarded the Badge in 1937.

On Monday, Sophie looked beautiful alongside the Queen, wearing a fabulous bold green, fitted shirt dress with a slightly flared skirt. The blonde royal added contrasting terracotta accessories, which consisted of a brown clutch bag and sleek high heel shoes. We particularly loved her boater hat; the straw style featured a light green ribbon that gave it a bold edge.
