The Duchess of Edinburgh stepped out in a bold floral look for a special event alongside the Princess of Wales on Monday (19 June).
Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh was a vision in a sleeveless midi dress with a full, 1950s style skirt. The white dress is printed with bold pink flowers, and the Duchess threaded this hue through the rest of her outfit via the accessories.
Pink is the colour of the season, and Sophie chose a bold tone for the folded shawl she carried over one arm. She also wore an avant-garde headpiece featuring multiple curved layers, in shades of pink with a touch of lilac to add a high-fashion edge to her look.
Sophie was attending the Order of the Garter service at Windsor Castle alongside other members of the royal family, and was pictured with the Princess of Wales.
The Princess was the picture of elegance, relying on a favourite print of hers - polka dot. Kate opted for a black and white dotted dress with a high neck and lightly puffed sleeves. Kate has been spotted in polka dots on a number of occasions, including multiple Wimbledon looks in recent years.
Over the weekend, the Royal Family were out in full force for King Charles' first Trooping the Colour as monarch. The parade celebrated The King's official birthday, although his actual birthday is in November.
Both the Duchess of Edinburgh and Princess of Wales attended the event and stood on the balcony alongside The King and Queen, and younger members of the family; Prince George, Prince Louis and Princess Charlotte.
