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 autumn blazers

The Duchess loves a blazer in autumn. In fact, earlier this week the royal headed out in a £900 style from Eleventy Milano when she joined the Alliance in Arusha, Tanzania for the inauguration of a new laboratory safeguarding bean varieties for local food security.

Sophie used a blazer to dress up her farmgirl chic

Though blazers are often sported with a formal ensemble, Sophie has also been known to don a blazer to dress up a more casual 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.
