Duchess Sophie sets ‘example’ with new appearance and royal fans all say same thing | Royal | News

Duchess Sophie wowed today as she stepped out in Bulford to attend the Junior Non-Commissioned Officers Pass-off parade at Picton Barracks.
The Duchess of Edinburgh, who is Royal Colonel of the 5th Battalion the Rifles, looked sensational in Erdem’s Kristen floral jacquard midi dress in black and pink.
She paired the stunning piece with her beloved Jimmy Choo Rosalia 65 heels (£675) and Sophie Hasburg’s Minuit clutch in fuschia satin (£239).
Prince Edward’s wife also donned a special brooch, the Regimental brooch of the 5th Battalion The Rifles.
The royal’s latest style choice drove royal fans into a frenzy and they took to social media to express their jubilation.
Some of them even praised her for “always getting it right”.
One user wrote on X: “Absolutely lovely, as usual. Sophie is prob my favourite example of someone dressing so beautifully but always in way that compliments her withouto being outshone by it. In my opinion she does the same with her work. She compliments initiatives with support but without ever outshining the purpose.”
Another one agreed: “She is always looking good, but today she looks great! What an amazing outfit!”
A third one said: “Beautiful and it suits our super Sophie so much!”
A fourth one: “I know I sound like a broken record, but I really love this dress (both colours)! The Duchess looks so stylish and beautiful, as usual.”
A fifth one commented: “Gosh I love that frock!”
Lastlym a sixth one chimed: “Oh, she looks stunning. (As usual!)”
