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.
