Duchess Sophie arrived at day three of the Royal Horse Show at Windsor Home Park wearing what may be her best look of the week.

The Duchess of Edinburgh, 59, was seen in the stalls watching the action intently in a fitted checked jacket in an oatmeal hue with buttons down the front and a sharp collar from Sport Max.

The royal removed the belt from the designer jacket for a more relaxed feel but cinched in her waist with a brown belt over the top of her recycled 'Seymore'  dress from Gabriela Hearst which featured a rounded neckline and a floaty skirt.

Her husband was also seen in the crowd enjoying The Pony Club Races in a khaki anorak, black trousers, and a beige fedora. 

Meanwhile, Sophie's niece Zara Tindall was seen greeting her uncle King Charles with a warm hug while wearing a fitted grey checked suit which was teamed with black accessories and a low ponytail.

The Duchess looked as elegant as ever in an unexpected leather midi skirt from Vince with a cream blouse and a structured khaki blazer from Me + Em with gold statement buttons.

To accessorise her look, the mother-of-two popped on a pair of dark brown leather boots with the 'Nuschi' bag from Sophie Habsburg - a deep green snakeskin number.

The star of the show was her Hermès silk twilly scarf which dressed up her low ponytail which added a vibrant touch to her muted look.

The finishing touch was the Duchess' 'Oskan Moon Stud-Embellished Leather Shoulder Bag in Cognac' from Isabel Marant which warmed up the outfit.

The royal's visit to the Royal Horse Show has been her first public appearance since she flew to Ukraine to demonstrate solidarity with the women, men, and children impacted by the war, as a continuation of her work championing survivors of conflict-related sexual violence.
