Duchess Sophie headed out for a two-engagement day on Wednesday, making it a two-outfit day.
The Duchess of Edinburgh, 59, was spotted in a set of photos posted to X (formerly Twitter) by Tariq Ahmad, Baron Ahmad of Wimbledon who is the Minister of State Foreign Commonwealth and Development Affairs and the prime minister's Special Envoy for Preventing Sexual Violence.
The Duchess was seen wearing a beautiful dark blue floral dress by Erdem with long sleeves, a rounded neckline, and a floaty mid-length skirt. She paired the garment with the 'Rosalia 65 Ballet Pink Patent Pointed Pumps with Pearl Detail' by Jimmy Choo which featured a chic kitten heel.

The royal attended the NSPCC Corporate Impact Awards before heading to a reception for the Georgetown Institute of Women, Peace and Security Launch of the Women Peace and Security Index at the Royal Bank of Canada Brewin Dolphin in London.
Mr Ahmed wrote: "Yesterday, I had the pleasure of discussing Women, Peace and Security and PSVI with HRH The Duchess of Edinburgh and Melanne Verveer at the launch of the Georgetown Institute Index. The inclusion of women in decision-making is vital to achieving longer lasting peace."

Sophie kept her makeup neutral with spidery long lashes and a 'your-lips-but-better' lipstick colour.

In 2022, the royal mother visited Botswana and Malawi to meet people whose lives had undergone life-changing surgery.
