The Duchess of Edinburgh looked so swish on Tuesday as she headed out for a garden party at Hillsborough Castle in Northern Ireland alongside her husband Prince Edward.

Duchess Sophie, 59, was spotted re-wearing her beautiful yellow Beulah London dress in the 'Yahvi' style which featured a crew neckline, cinched waistline, and romantic bell sleeves.

The mid-length number has a special meaning. It was the lovely sunny number she wore in June at the King's birthday parade, otherwise known as Trooping the Colour - the Princess of Wales' first public engagement since she announced she was undergoing preventative chemotherapy for cancer in March.

Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh wore the same dress in June

Earlier this week, Prince William's wife announced that her chemotherapy treatment has come to an end.

The Duchess styled her bright dress with a series of equally bright accessories. The mother of two wore a cornflower blue coat from Suzannah London to offset her navy netted hat from Jane Taylor millinery which perched atop her understated updo.

To round off her look, Prince Edward's wife wore her 'Rosalia 65 Ballet Pink Patent Pointed Pumps with Pearl Detail' from Jimmy Choo and a pair of extravagant earrings - the '5.20cts Platinum Three Row Diamond Hoop Earrings' from G. Collins & Sons which retail for a staggering £24,500.
