The Duchess of Edinburgh stepped out in her busiest dress during an outing on 5 June that until now, has flown under the radar.

Sophie, 60, attended a 25th anniversary dinner for the Two Moors Festival, an event celebrating classical music in Devon and Somerset. She wore the 'Osaka' dress by Matelier – an ankle-skimming number with long sleeves and a scooped neck.

The dress featured an eye-catching floral design with block colour panelling in hues of cream, chocolate brown, and sky blue. It was paired with a standout accessory – the gold 'Moneypenny' clutch in 'Goldfinger' by Sophie Habsburg that had her looking like a glamorous Bond girl.

Sophie added to the look with a chunky gold bangle, statement earrings, and a large necklace for the ultimate maximalist look.

Royal Club, royal shopper Leanne teamed up with Samantha from the hugely popular Instagram account Royal Fashion Daily (formerly the Royal Fashion Police) to look back on Princess Kate’s Ascot wardrobe and offer some predictions on what the fashionable royal might opt for this week.
