Duchess Sophie has cemented her status as the pinnacle of classy royal style, and her outfits at Royal Ascot this year have only solidified her position.
After rocking magnificent dresses on the first and second day of the races, the Duchess of Edinburgh brought out yet another wonderful dress on Thursday, which also coincided with her and Prince Edward’s 26th wedding anniversary.
Stepping out alongside her sister-in-law Princess Anne, the 60-year-old opted for one more dress from her go-to designer, Suzannah London.
Her ‘Veronique’ dress is a floor-length silky gown, with a magnificent floral pattern designed in collaboration with French artist and photographer Rachel Levy.

Duchess Sophie’s dress also has a traditional silhouette, smocking at the empire and cuffs and falling right to her ankles.
The mother-of-two picked out the most fabulous hat, which was also bridal white in colour and adorned with tiny green embroidered flowers, to perfectly coordinate with her statement dress.

Prince Edward looked delightfully dapper beside her, in a crisp blue shirt, dark blazer, beige waistcoat, grey trousers and a statement tie that matched the pattern on his wife’s dress – a perfect couple’s look for a milestone day.
