Duchess Sophie looked so regal when she made an appearance at the Ceremony of the Keys at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh on Friday.
The Duchess of Edinburgh, 59, was seen looking pristine in a brand new look with the most surprising silhouette that was a far cry from her floaty floral tea dresses.

To accentuate the dramatic collar on her jacket, Prince Edward's wife wore her blonde hair in a low braided bun. Her makeup was flawless with a touch of glamour added thanks to her fluttery false eyelashes.

The royal was seen with her husband at the Palace of Holyrood. The occasion, the Ceremony of the Keys, marks the start of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. Prince Edward stepped in for his brother King Charles in the role of the Lord High Commissioner to receive the keys from the Lord Provost.

Two days before, Sophie was seen switching up her style game once again when she visited The Seashell Trust in Cheadle, Greater Manchester. The royal was spotted wearing a super stylish dazzling white blazer with double-breasted buttons and a figure-skimming fit.

The Duchess looked serene in the dainty 'Fontaine Silk Crepe Dress in Paris Pink' from Suzannah London with the stunning 'Hersilia' hat from Jane Taylor Millinery.
