The Duchess of Edinburgh was a lady in leather to step out in Surrey on Tuesday.
The wife of Prince Edward, 58, was a match made in sartorial heaven as she rocked a hybrid of designer and highstreet pieces for her engagement at Brooklands Innovation Academy at Brooklands Drive.
Duchess Sophie opted for a luxe £1,980 leather midi skirt by Nina Ricci, amping up the glamour in a boxy lambskin jacket by Prada to double up on her grungy garments.

Adding softness to her vampy ensemble, the mother-of-two added a beautiful floral printed shirt. With pastel posies and hand-painted sunflowers emblazoned across the fabric, Sophie's penchant for feminine florals shone through despite her biker-babe aesthetic.

It's not the first time Sophie has experimented with leather pieces in her royal wardrobe.

Turning heads as she took to the stage, Sophie looked immaculate in a striking leather A-line skirt from trendy Californian brand, Vince. Complete with a belted, buckled tie and rippled pleats, the daring leather ensemble proved to be a beautiful new addition to the royal's enviable wardrobe.
