The Duchess of Edinburgh brought sartorial sunshine to an overcast day as she stepped out in a bright green blazer to visit the RAF Wittering in her role as Honorary Air Commodore.
Looking radiant, Sophie, 60, stepped out in the tailored outerwear, pairing her look with silhouette-skimming brown trousers and killer point-toe heeled boots in an oxblood-hued leather.

A royal wardrobe repeat

The royal memorably wore the garment to the Big Jubilee Lunch at Windsor Castle in honour of the late Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee, and was seen only a few months before sporting it while touring the Channel Islands.

Sophie's honorary role

"Every year, The Duchess attends The Duchess of Edinburgh Cup, an annual competition in which her honorary military appointments compete against each other in a series of challenges, fostering cooperation between the regiments."
Like many royals, the Duchess holds honorary military titles without having served in the military, but her daughter, Lady Louise Windsor, could be set to be the first female royal since the late Queen Elizabeth II to take up an official military role.
