It was a similar pair of shoes that divided royal fans on Tuesday as the mother-of-two stepped out in Paris during the Olympics.

Sophie was taken on a private tour of La Galerie Dior off the Champs-Elysees where she paired 'Floral-Print Chiffon Midi Dress' by Victoria Beckham with a pair of heeled wedges by Penelope Chilvers.

"I love my espadrilles and they are easy and light for summer BUT to attend the Dior Gallery in them is a no-no!," wrote one royal follower.

A second added: "The dress is so pretty and Sophie is representing classic British style. The look, paired with the sporty footwear, is a bit casual for a private tour by Dior officials."
