The Duchess of Edinburgh brought the sunshine on Saturday at Trooping the Colour 2025!
Trooping the Colour is one of the biggest royal events of the year, where thousands of royal fans excitedly line London's streets to watch. Many also tune in at home, as the landmark event is televised.
Sophie, 60, looked so stylish, wearing a dazzling, forest green puff sleeve dress and an exquisite pillbox hat in the same tone. She wore her famous blonde hair in a chic updo style, and subtle makeup highlighted her pretty features.

What is Trooping the Colour?
Trooping the Colour marks the reigning monarch's official birthday for over 260 years. Over 1,400 parading soldiers, 200 horses, and 400 musicians take part in the display of military precision, horsemanship and fanfare. The parade travels from Buckingham Palace down The Mall to Horse Guards Parade, and closes with a Royal Air Force fly-past.
Duchess Sophie's Trooping the Colour outfit from 2024
Sophie unknowingly wore the colour of 2025 last year - butter yellow!
The Duchess looked resplendent in her lightly-coloured pastel yellow dress by one of the royal's favourite brands, Beulah London. The sunny style featured a round neckline, puffed sleeves and a seriously floaty skirt. She topped the look off with a matching hat.

The brand is known for its form-fitting, beautifully cut frocks, which skim the body and flatter the shape at the same time.
