We appreciate that florals for spring is the typical modus operandi for the royal family, but it never hurts to push the boat out. The Duchess of Wessex ditched the blooms in favour of a bold look as she visited Caring for Life in Leeds and Halle St Peter's in Manchester on Thursday, and fans are all saying the same thing.
The newly-appointed Duchess lit up the drizzly Mancunian day in an apple-green blazer by Giuliva Heritage. Retailing for over £1000, the garment, coined the 'Linda Wool Blend Blazer,' featured a feminine wrap effect, long sleeves, a sumptuously thick texture and a mottled finish.
The royal paired the colourful piece with some cream trousers by MaxMara and frosted herself in a selection of gold jewels. Hermes' 'Constance Amulette Rose Gold Pendant,' provided the perfect contrast to her spring-ready outerwear, which was further enhanced by some nude pumps courtesy of Gianvito Rossi.
Allowing her gorgeous green blazer to take centre stage, Duchess Sophie wore her blonde hair down loose in a half-up-half-down princess style. A natural makeup blend featuring a dusting of rose-tinted blush contributed to her fresh-faced appearance.
Upon seeing images of the royal's latest sartorial triumph emerge online, fans flocked to express their thoughts via social media. "The colour is fabulous and love the tie-waist," one wrote, as another noted: "I love that colour on her!" A third agreed, commenting: "She looks lovely."

The mother-of-two charmed in an electric blue knit co-ord by the luxury label. Rather than opting for a go-to dress silhouette, the royal rocked the brand's 'Turtleneck Knitted Top,' paired with the matching 'A-Line Knitted Skirt.'
