Duchess Sophie stepped out for a royal outing to champion menstrual health issues and was turned out immaculately. The royal, 59, arrived at a workshop around menstrual health issues put on by the Wellbeing of Women charity, showing off her ability to rock a power suit as elegantly as Princess Kate.
The Duchess wore a pair of belted wide-leg trousers by Emilia Wickstead that created a leg-lengthening silhouette. She paired the garment with an open-neck silk shirt in a sky blue hue by Vince that added a touch of glamour to her understated look.

The royal popped on a pair of ‘Manzoni 85’ Black Suede Ankle Boots by Aquazurra to further lengthen the silhouette and tied the trousers into the look with a coordinating slim-fit single-breasted blazer by Helmut Lang.

The mother-of-two added an extra special accessory. As she arrived at the workshop Sophie was seen with a beige and grey striped scarf around her neck – the charcoal and beige merino wool scarves from Highgrove Garden and Johnstons of Elgin in collaboration with The Prince's Foundation which was conceived by her brother-in-law King Charles.

The royal is an advocate for normalising the conversation around periods and said that period products should be on display at home rather than locked in a cupboard, adding: "Let’s get them out of the closet."

I’ve been to many countries around the world and other countries seem to be more progressive."

The Duchess demonstrated that she is really open, receptive and, of course, she has a daughter, too."

The Prince's wife rocked a forest green suit by Victoria Beckham that she styled with a black and white patterned shirt also by the iconic British designer and a white leather belt by Mulberry.
