The Duchess of Edinburgh is a finely dressed woman with a huge array of impeccable clothes. On Tuesday, the blonde royal headed to Buckingham Palace, where she was photographed in the Picture Gallery, just behind the Princess of Wales.
Sophie can just be seen, and if you look closely, she is wearing the most fabulous, slinky dress in olive green.

The luxurious style is made from 100 per cent silk, has a concealed zip and hook-eye fastening at the back. It is designed with a round neck, pleated neckline, long sleeves and is finished with buttoned cuffs and a dipped hem. Perfection! Sophie added a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes and a stunning pair of gold drop earrings.
Sophie's tiara moment
Later that evening, the Duchess made an appearance at the state banquet honouring the Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and his wife Sheikha Jawaher bint Hamad bin Suhaim Al Thani during their state visit to the UK.

It is said that the mother of Lady Louise Windsor and James, Earl of Wessex assisted with the design of the tiara.

Known as the 'Debutante Floor Length Gown Silk Gazar' she had it designed with elbow length sleeves. Her gown was teamed with a blue sash and she added a diamond necklace and earrings by Gaff.
