The Duchess of Edinburgh epitomised understated elegance as she posed in a set of photos released on Monday to mark her 60th birthday.
Duchess Sophie looked coy as she posed in the doorway leading into a sitting room at her Bagshot Park home in Surrey in the photo taken by Christina Ebenezer. The royal wore the 'Alina' trousers from Victoria Beckham which are made from recycled wool and feature a cinched waistline, oversized pockets on the hips and a flared leg to create an elongated silhouette.
She paired the jacquard trousers with a deep red knitted sweater with a crew neckline and long sleeves. The mother of two embraced statement jewellery in the form of the 'Africa' ring from Giulia Barela and their 'Arizona Small Earrings' to match as she stood with her sweet cocker spaniel at her feet.
Taking to Instagram, the photographer explained her inspiration behind the shots which captured Sophie as she had never been seen before. "After admiring two portraits I photographed of Letitia Wright & Michaela Coel at the National Portrait Gallery, the Duchess wanted to collaborate and be captured in a different light for this new chapter of life," Christina penned.
"We had a very relaxed day taking these at her home – her and the team created a very welcoming atmosphere. My favourite part was definitely working together on outfit choices."

Sophie's best decade yet

Royal fans can look forward to lots of fabulous outfits as the Duchess enters her sixth decade. She showed her love of block colour outfits with her most recent outing prior to her birthday.
Prince Edward's wife visited the Community Shop Lambeth and L'Arche London wearing a deep green midi skirt from Alberta Ferretti teamed with an aubergine-hued slim-fit jumper from Whistles and boots in the same shade from Jimmy Choo.

The London-based outing was her first of 2025 having been photographed on Christmas Day at Sandringham along with fellow senior royals led by King Charles and Queen Camilla. Sophie looked wonderful in a cornflower blue belted coat from Emilia Wickstead.

The stylish outerwear was teamed with a bold netted hat in the same blue hue and the 'Carina' leather boots from Reiss to break up the otherwise monochrome look.
