The dress the royal sported was called the 'Amanda' and is a past-season buy. The brand sources its silk from a Spanish mill renowned for its extraordinary textile-dying techniques. The loose silhouette had poet sleeves and nipped in at the elasticated waist before falling to a floaty maxi hem. It also comes with a self-tie belt. So beautiful!

Royal Ascot is one of the highlights of the royals' summer calendar and we just love seeing our favourite family decked out looking stylish. The five-day event is always pretty epic and this year it's even more special than normal, being that last year's was cancelled due to the pandemic.

It's been a busy few days for Sophie. At the weekend, she attended the official opening of Bagshot Pavilion- an improved facility using LMCT funding. The blonde royal wore a super striking dress by one of her favourite designers Peter Pilotto. The bright blue, floral print number was emblazoned with an eye-catching print, made in pastel colours. Known as the cloqué dress, it had a crew neckline, short angel sleeves, and the fit-and-flare silhouette was super flattering.
