The Duchess of Edinburgh surprised royal followers on Friday as she stepped out for a DEBRA event held at The Beaumont hotel in London wearing a coat no one saw coming.
Duchess Sophie, 59, posed for a photo in her role as the patron of the charity supporting people living with epidermolysis bullosa, wearing a red-toned brown longline coat made from a ribbed corduroy material.
The unusual outerwear coordinated perfectly with her long floaty knit dress in the same autumn-ready hue. Prince Edward's wife also wore black patent pumps and carried a petrol blue bucket bag.
For hair, the royal chose a soft blow-dry tucked behind one ear to show off her lovely gold hoop earrings.
