On June 6, 2025, the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Edinburgh attended the Royal Cornwall Show at the Royal Cornwall Showground in Wadebridge. The Royal Cornwall Show is organized by the Royal Cornwall Agricultural Association (RCAA) and serves as a fundraising event to support agriculture and rural communities.
The Prince of Wales is the patron of the Royal Cornwall Agricultural Association, while the Duchess of Edinburgh serves as patron of the Association of Show and Agricultural Organisations and as Vice President of the Royal Cornwall Agricultural Association. The mission of the Association is to promote excellence in agriculture.
The length of the skirt is really ok this time with boots underneath. But a bit awkward colour combination. She could do so much better because such a good looking and friendly duchess.
ReplyDeleteIts warm weather, boots no
DeleteAll I can say is what was she thinking. Individually each piece is okay, but together a miss for me. I do like the handbag.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you comletely Anon 16 : 22.
DeleteAnother missmatched outfit leading me to think , once again,
that Sophie doesn't have a stylist.Cate.
Lovely to see nephew and aunt at an event together, and I will say that they both look nicely dressed. The many individual colours and pieces of Sophie's ensemble coordinate well (especially the green bag which gives the accentuating necessary 'pop of colour'), and William looks dashingly casual and elegant in the finest way. Bravo to them both.

I like what William is wearing! No tired blue suit.
DeleteShe is dressed for autum weather. It’s summer!
ReplyDeleteNow don't hate me, but Sophie looks disheveled. The composition is nonexistent, as if she had to leave a burning house and fetch what came at first. The hard- and stiff skirt does nothing for her (or anybody). The jacket is crying for a more fitting company. The shirt collar is suffering under the regime of the jacket lapel. I mean ... no. I don't mind how non-working royals look like. But she is a major member of the family ... the care one gives to one's outfit is part of the respect for the people one mingles with and also very much part of what people expect. Casual is very OK, but well put together is a must?
ReplyDeleteI think the context - a country show - means she’s dressed very appropriately. Have you been to country shows in England?
DeleteWell said, I feel the same way, it just looked like she rushed out the door.
DeleteDear Anon 21:50, I think no country show requires totally haphazard outfit choices. William is also casually dressed, but in no way carelessly.
DeleteI agree, she is great, but I feel that she always goes for a 4 color combination instead of 3, and the result is rather messy, even the pieces are all right.

Sympathiques photos du duo bien vêtu même si les pièces de la tenue de Sophie manquent de combinaison dans les couleurs ; j'aurais tendance à préférer celle de sa veste !
ReplyDeleteGreat handbag. That's all I've got, because the rest is awful, fashion-wise.
ReplyDeleteI yearn for the days of 2011-2012 Sophie, when she was at her sartorial peak. It has become clear that fashion is no longer a priority for her.
Agree
DeleteAh!
DeletePrince William is beautifully dressed. Nice jacket, beautiful shoes, pants that fit.
ReplyDeleteIl est très bien William avec tante Sophie. Le couple Edimburgh et les Galles s'apprécie. Une main sur le dos, un clin d'oeil envers Catherine l'a souvent prouvé.
ReplyDeleteMaybe for atumn with a big scarf…..but in June?!
ReplyDeleteWe dress for the weather, not the name of the month!
DeleteOmg..ok, you can't stand anything on this post.
DeleteMay I ask you why are you commenting then?
Why are Brittish royals terrible with fashion? Are they wearing local designers to support them instead of dressing stylish and regal?
ReplyDeleteThey’re not. The might not be to your taste, but it doesn’t make them terrible. Don’t forget to take culture into account - and use this blog to learn about how different groups dress, instead of assuming they should fit your tastes.
DeleteMaybe it’s not latest fashion and the outfit could be better coordinated, but the DoE looks just fine for the occasion and the weather.
DeleteWow! 😸
DeletePicture 2 is in the running for best royal photo of the year; hilarious. Sophie’s jacket is beautifully detailed and I love it with that light pink blouse. Either the brown of the boots or the brown of the skirt would have matched well but with both there may be a wee colour clash going on. - Mary
ReplyDeleteA nice outfit for a farm visit - definitely much better than Queen Mathilde wore on her cheese farm visit.
ReplyDeleteSophie is following in the footsteps of her mother-in-law, Queen Elizabeth II, who loved the countryside and often wore boots and tweed suits.
Some commentators say it's an autumn outfit, but we don't know what the temperature was there. Sturdy shoes are essential for walking around the farm and on the lawn. Not to mention the paths littered with small stones.

Queen Mathilde was inside all the time, she was the only visitor. The rest of the people were the family who run the business. Duchess Sophie's visit to a farm was outside with many visitors. You say it yourself : "the paths littered with small stones", which was not the case where Queen Mathilde was. How come Prince William was not wearing boots ? He was dressed in a normal every day outfit and normal shoes.
DeleteShe looks appropriately dressed for this visit. If she is wearing boot's I can only assume, that she was filling cold? Regardless the skirt length works in well with the boots, which I like. Her jacket looks good.
ReplyDeleteOk--photo #2 is absolutely hilarious! Poor William--that out have been a pretty strong or really awful tasting drink to make it look like his eyes are going to pop out of head. In the first picture it looks like Auntie Sophie might have tried to warn him. Meanwhile back to fashion. Sophie looks good except for the skirt--its a great skirt but doesn't go with the rest of her outfit. Her purse is fabulous--I love that color of green. Interestingly the purse goes beautifully with the skirt. By the way, William looks great.

William est simplement facétieux. Je ne pense pas que la boisson était forte, il accentue les grimaces pour faire de l'humour.
DeleteNothing goes with anything in her outfit. Stiff suede, silk, tweed and leather. And all different colors. Doesn't she have any guidance?
