Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh continues her official visit to Finland this week, alongside her husband, Prince Edward (King Charles' youngest brother). The Duchess was 'suited and booted' for a meeting in Helsinki on Tuesday (27 October) in a navy blazer and trousers, which she wore over a timeless animal print shirt.

While in Finland, the Duchess met with business leaders, visiting a jewellery factory and meeting Nokia CEO Justin Hotard. For the occasion, the Duchess chose a sharp suit, but added a printed shirt and emerald green handbag for a stylish twist on her otherwise formal attire.

The exact blouse worn by Sophie is the 'Alyssa Animal Print Blouse' by Rails. It features animal printed leopards in black and white motifs, on a khaki green background. The shirt is currently in stock at John Lewis, but some sizes are already to starting to sell out, so you'll need to be quick:

In case £240 is a little steep for your budget, we've also found a similar leopard print version of the shirt at M&S for a fraction of the price, at just £45. The 'Jersey Animal Print Notch Neck Top' shirt by Roman is an all over animal print, and leans into the charcoal grey undertones of Sophie's shirt rather than the khaki.

According to Buckingham Palace, the royals' visit will 'recognise the close and longstanding relationship between the UK and Finland.' It added that the couple would be undertaking 'a programme of engagements highlighting the UK’s partnership with Finland across a range of sectors, including defence and security, business and innovation, culture and education.' Wednesday (28 October) is the final day of the couple's three-day visit.
