Duchess Sophie steps out for poignant meeting in elegant flippy dress

For the poignant occasion, Prince Edward’s wife chose the ‘Georgette’ dress by Prada with a cinched waistline, straight-point collar, and front button fastening. The classic polka dot number, which retails for £3,500 was paired with beige pumps and a matching envelope-style clutch.

Her mousy blonde hair was swept up into a loose, low bun, revealing a pair of gold hooped earrings which matched her pendant necklace. 

The outing comes after Sophie headed to Windsor Castle for the State Banquet held by the King and Queen to celebrate the State Visit of President Macron of France and his wife, Brigitte. 

The duchess looked classically elegant in the ‘Delphine’ dress by Suzannah London. The ankle-skimming number featured a tulip-shaped wrap skirt and a tailored bodice with puffed short sleeves. 

The crisp white number was paired with the ‘Charlotte’ pumps by Emmy London which were also white and featured a crossover strap.

For her accessories, Sophie added an array of glittering jewels. She rocked the Wessex Aquamarine Necklace Tiarawhich she first wore in 2005 to the enthronement celebration of Prince Albert of Monaco, and her £24,500 ‘Three Row Diamond Hoop Earrings’ by G.Collins & Sons.

Also in attendance were the Prince and Princess of Wales. Kate matched Sophie’s stylish energy in a bespoke Givenchy gown and the Lover’s Knot tiara.

Prior to the state visit, Sophie made an appearance day eight of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships. Sophie rocked the Royal Box in a printed  Proenza Schouler dress under a white boxy blazer.

She topped off her look with dark shades and a statement gold bangle.
