The Duchess of Edinburgh stepped out on day one of her solo visit to Peru on 11 November, but it seems she's taken reminders of home on her trip. Duchess Sophie, 60, was seen on the second day of her visit to South and Central America from 10 to 19 November, where she will visit Peru, Panama, and Guatemala at the request of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, before travelling to Belize, as part of the royal family's engagement with the Realms.
On Tuesday night, she headed to a dinner to celebrate the UK's first year of implementing the Biodiverse Landscape Fund programme, which financially supports biodiverse landscapes around the world, at Casa de Fierro restaurant in Iquitos. Prince Edward's wife wore the 'Sienna Floral Bouquet' dress by Beulah London, seemingly a subtle nod to her niece Princess Beatrice's daughter, Sienna, four. The daughter of Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and Sarah Ferguson welcomed little Sienna with her property developer husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, in 2021, and they are also parents to Athena, who was born in January 2025.

The royal went for a Bond girl moment with her choice of Sophie Habsburg's 'Moneypenny' clutch and rounded off the outfit with Asprey's 'Woodland Single Oak Leaf Bracelet', which retails for £3,500.
"This is a lovely example of the Duchess' relaxed yet refined daywear style that we are used to seeing her in," Gabrielle Mai, a global fashion stylist with seven years of experience, tells us. "The navy floral dress creates the perfect balance between structure and softness. The defined waist and cropped sleeve give it a beautiful shape, while the floral print keeps it light and feminine. Paired with blush coloured accessories, the look feels approachable but refined, ideal for daytime engagements where ease and elegance need to work together."

It was a special evening as the Biodiverse Landscape Fund has put £100 million of UK government funds into projects in six of the world's most important biodiversity hotspots to help reduce poverty, protect nature, and address climate change. It began in 2022 and will conclude in 2029.
Duchess Sophie's first outing in Peru

She headed to La Mona Cafe in Iquitos to meet with Indigenous Women's Rights Defenders and women leaders of the Awajun, Shipibo-Konibo people, and Kukama Kukamiria people, to raise awareness about the role that they play in territorial governance.

She last wore it in August 2025 when she stepped out to meet a WW2 veteran ahead of VJ Day, which marks the surrender of Japan in 1945 and the end of the war.

She also wore the same Asprey bracelet as earlier in the day, but switched it up with her Giulia Barela drop earrings and propped her hair out of her face with a pair of Dolce and Gabbana sunglasses.
