The Duchess of Edinburgh rounded off her state visit to Malta in style as she posed alongside Prince Edward alongside members of The British High Commission.

Duchess Sophie, 59, epitomised elegance in an unexpected Barbie pink fitted double-breasted blazer - the 'Angela' style from Gabriela Hearst which she paired with the matching 'Vesta' trousers.

Prince Edward's wife broke up the solid pink with a flattering white shirt and elevated her look with designer accessories - the 'Rosalia' patent pumps from Jimmy Choo and the 'Moneypenny Raffia' clutch from Sophie Habsburg. 

The royal also added a youthful touch to her look in the form of the 'Silk Les Murmures de la Foret Twilly Multicolour Scarf' from Hermès in her swishy ponytail.

It isn't the first time the Duchess has worn a sweet Hermès scarf in her hair. 

In May, the King's sister-in-law was spotted at the Royal Windsor Horse Show in Home Park wearing the stylish designer accessory to liven up her structured khaki blazer from Me + Em which was teamed with a leather skirt from Vince.

In fact, it was a day of royal re-wears as Sophie was previously seen in the girlie Gabriela Hearst suit when she attended a discussion on the development of Colombia’s first Women Peace and Security National Action Plan last December.

Though Sophie loves earthy tones in the autumn, she is not averse to a romantic candy pink look. Her most memorable might just be the bespoke Suzannah London gingham dress she wore to Trooping the Colour in 2022.
