The Duchess of Edinburgh surprised royal followers on Friday as she stepped out for a DEBRA event held at The Beaumont hotel in London wearing a coat no one saw coming.

Duchess Sophie, 59, posed for a photo in her role as the patron of the charity supporting people living with epidermolysis bullosa, wearing a red-toned brown longline coat made from a ribbed corduroy material.

The unusual outerwear coordinated perfectly with her long floaty knit dress in the same autumn-ready hue. Prince Edward's wife also wore black patent pumps and carried a petrol blue bucket bag.

For hair, the royal chose a soft blow-dry tucked behind one ear to show off her lovely gold hoop earrings.

Earlier this week, the Duchess stepped out in another gorgeous coat. It was a poignant outing for the mother of two as she attended a memorial service marking the 50th anniversary of the Birmingham pub bombings.

Kate was seen leaving the church service at Sandringham wearing a similar khaki structured coat from Alexander McQueen which was styled with Gianvito Rossi boots and a wide-brimmed hat from Philip Treacy.

Meanwhile, Sophie opted for boots from L.K. Bennett and a pair of chocolate brown leather gloves.
