The comments section was flooded with messages from fans, who all admire Sophie's down-to-earth and authentic nature. "Love the way the Duchess is showing real joy. No restraint there. Good to see," one fan commented. A second penned: "Sophie is such a lovely person; her joy at the GB win was infectious."

A third fan replied, writing: "The Duchess of Edinburgh is such a tonic, and it's great to see her show her enthusiasm and excitement."

The win was particularly close to the Duchess' heart, as she is the patron of the British Cycling Federation.

Sophie and her husband Prince Edward are incredibly sporty, so it’s no surprise that her reaction to the result was steeped in genuine passion.

Not only was Sophie’s joy effervescent, but she also looked incredibly stylish for the occasion. She donned the 'Roisin' floral-print midi dress from fashion house Erdem, which she paired with white cork wedges. As for her hair, she swept her tresses back into a soft bun.

One thing that didn't go unnoticed was that Sophie appeared to be wearing a 'Swiftie'-style friendship bracelet, similar to those her niece, Princess Charlotte, and brother-in-law, King Charles, have been wearing recently.
