      ? Queen Sofía of Spain? This one is Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh. Doesn’t she look beautiful in this. We’ve seen it before and it’s just as good this time. Very flattering.

  4. This is a gorgeous dress on Sophie: great design and bright colours!!
    I wish, though, that she would not wear shoes with ankle straps( just a pet peeve!😊)

    1. I so agree with you. This is her best dress of the tour, imo, but the awful clumpy shoes, why? You don’t need super high needle points but anything with a bit of a heel and, as you say, no ankle straps. Main point, it’s a gorgeous dress

      I don’t find the shoes clumpy. They fit the shape of her foot and as we get older it gets sillier and sillier to squeeze our feet into dainty shoes. She tends to prefer shoes like this on grass and fair enough. Shoes should firstly be comfortable and healthy and secondarily stylish.

    This could be a terrific dress for the Duchess, had it not the hem part. Even more so for a dress with a beautiful, but already busy pattern. Duchess Sophie would do so much better guided by "less is more".

      It IS a terrific dress for the duchess, yes. Wonderful colours for her and patterns like these fit well into this part of Africa.

    I've always liked Duchess Sophie in this multi color dress. She looks fantastic on photo n°.3. If wish she would wear other shoes.

    Nice dress but oh boy, a second pair of espadrilles. She’s so lovely but could really benefit from professional styling as one a small group of senior BRF royals.

      She likely does have a stylist. Plus she’s her own woman and chooses shoes to suit her feet and own preferences.

    This is one of nicest dresses I’ve seen in Duchess Sophie. With her bob hair style it’s a lovely youthful look.
    Lowri.

  11. The Duchess is glowing, she looks stunning. Her overall look is gorgeous. I love the dress, only the hem, I dislike regardless beautiful. Her hair looks wonderful. I love the subtle necklace she chose. It looks to be small single stud diamond earrings.
