The Duchess of Edinburgh looked stunning as she stepped out for the Easter Matins service held at St George's Chapel in Windsor alongside King Charles and Queen Camilla last week.
The doting mother-of-two, 59, turned heads as she arrived in an unexpected vibrant purple Prada coat, but another feature of Sophie's look caught our eye.

Sophie chose the particular beret from Louise's collection as it was the style that she wore in 2022 when she attended the service alongside her parents and brother James, Earl of Wessex, 16.
The young royal paired her light grey beret with a magenta and black floaty floral midi dress with an elasticated waistline and an open neckline. She teamed the look with suede block heels and a matching clutch.

In 2018, the royal university student arrived at St George's Chapel at Windsor for the wedding of her cousin Prince Harry to Meghan Markle wearing a black and white dotted skater dress with a white bolero and black accessories.

The mother-daughter pair haven't been spotted together in public since the Christmas Day service at Sandringham last year. Both ladies wore chic coats and fedora hats.
