The Duchess of Edinburgh wore the shoe of the season when she stepped out on Wednesday on a solo visit to Parity for Disability in Camberley and Hale Youth and Community Centre in Farnham.
Duchess Sophie, 59, was spotted wearing the stunning 'Ixia 80' pumps from Jimmy Choo - a high-end version of the patent wine-hued heels taking the high street by storm this autumn/winter.

Sophie's contrasting look

Prince William's aunt visited Shallowford Farm in Newton Abbott in 2022 and wore a single-breasted green-toned grey style with off-white trousers tucked into Ariat knee-high wellies.

The then-Miss Rhys-Jones was spotted in 1998 on the day following her engagement announcement in a chic beige blazer and matching trousers but also in 1992 when she used a blazer to taper a floaty skirt on a visit to Scrabster Harbour.
