The Duchess of Edinburgh was the epitome of elegance on Sunday as she attended the final day of the highly anticipated Royal Windsor Horse Show.
Embracing the warm weather, the royal mother-of-two opted for a stunning linen maxi dress complete with ruffled sleeves and a frilly hem. Crafted by Zimmermann, her frock also featured a pretty floral design teeming with pinks and purples.
Sophie, 60, paired her bold dress with a coordinating linen jacket, a statement straw boater hat wrapped with a blush-pink ribbon, and some elegant gold earrings carved with flowers.
It was an unexpected hat choice from the royal, as Sophie typically opts for smart fedoras and lampshade hats.

It's a passion she shares with her daughter Lady Louise who was taught by her late grandfather, Prince Philip.

Musing on her love for the sport, Louise previously said in 2021: "The Duke of Edinburgh has been so involved in my driving which has been lovely, but slightly scary because he invented the sport pretty much, but it's incredible to have learned first-hand from him and definitely made us closer, I think."

Sophie's sartorial flair
On Saturday, the Duchess was a boho dream in an eye-catching red midi dress from royally-approved brand, Ghost. Peppered with teeny white moons and stars, Sophie's "Aueline" frock was a charming take on the classic wrap dress.
