The Duchess of Edinburgh is no novice when it comes to effortless dressing, and on Sunday, Sophie reigned supreme in the royal style stakes as she delighted guests at the Royal Windsor Cup Final.
The Duchess, 59, was a vision of summer as she donned the 'Monique' dress from royally-loved brand, Emilia Wickstead.
Cut from crisp Italian cotton and nipped in at the waist, the royal's dress fanned out into an elegant pleated skirt that complemented her feminine frame.
Duchess Sophie added a cream, wool-blend blazer and her favourite 'High Mary Jane' leather espadrilles from Penelope Chilvers.
