The Duchess of Edinburgh headed out on Sunday, as the UK faced scorching high temperatures, to attend LEAF Open Farm Sunday, farming's annual open day which gives visitors the opportunity to learn more about farming and the countryside.
For her solo outing, the Duchess looked effortlessly chic in ankle-length navy trousers, a summery blouse by Mos Mosh, her trusty Penelope Chilvers espadrilles and her favourite pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses.

There are countless theories about royal protocol when it comes to nail polish - but most royal ladies love to experiment with their manicures. While it's thought that the late Queen's preferred look was sheer and neutral (her favourite shade was Essie's popular tone 'Ballet Slippers', which she had been loyal to since 1989) modern royal women like to try something different on occasion.

Sophie's outing on Sunday was her second of the weekend as she visited the Royal Windsor Rose and Horticultural Society.
