The royal wore her blonde hair scraped back into an intricate ponytail and opted for a natural makeup blend. A radiant skin tone, a flutter of subtle mascara and a rose pink lip made for a low-key beauty concoction.

Sophie recently reunited with her family as they stopped to view tributes to the Queen outside Balmoral. The royal looked emotional as she spoke to members of the public and viewed the many bouquets of flowers left in honour of the monarch.
They were joined for the walkabout by the daughter, Lady Louise Windsor, who touchingly held on to her mother's hand as they walked towards the crowd.
