The Duchess of Edinburgh is continuing the late Prince Philip's legacy and was pictured carriage driving in Windsor just days after the second anniversary of his passing.
Sophie, 58, donned outwear, blue jeans, and brown boots as she practised one of her late father-in-law's favourite hobbies over the weekend.
The Duchess had her blonde locks swept into a ponytail, which was tucked into a black baseball cap.
The late Duke of Edinburgh died at the age of 99 at Windsor Castle on 9 April 2021.
He played polo until 1971, when he discovered carriage driving, and was credited with bringing the sport to the UK. The Duke represented Britain in three European championships and six world championships.

Speaking about her own love for carriage driving to BBC Radio 5 in 2021, Sophie said of her late father-in-law: "[The Duke] was so pleased when she took the sport up because I took it up - I was at the beginning of my carriage driving career and I fell pregnant with Louise so I had to hang up the reins.
"So I was really delighted when she decided that she wanted to have a go and my father-in-law was always so good at encouraging.
"He was really encouraging of Louise and when she not only said can I have a go, but then showed a flair for it, he was just brilliant with her."

Buckingham Palace previously announced Edward would eventually one day succeed his father as the Duke of Edinburgh – but not until after the death of both Philip and the Queen.
