SADLY‼️Duchess Sophie Devastated As she's stripped of her duties to make way for Kate return to work

Duchess of Edinburgh helps young boy build a lego tower during royal engagement. Duchess Sophie was spotted in high spirits at the Hale Youth & Community Centre in Farnham during a royal engagement earlier today.

Duchess Sophie, 59, was spotted re-wearing her beautiful yellow Beulah London dress in the 'Yahvi' style which featured a crew neckline, cinched waistline, and romantic bell sleeves.

The mid-length number has a special meaning. It was the lovely sunny number she wore in June at the King's birthday parade, otherwise known as Trooping the Colour - the Princess of Wales' first public engagement since she announced she was undergoing preventative chemotherapy for cancer in March.

The Duchess styled her bright dress with a series of equally bright accessories. The mother of two wore a cornflower blue coat from Suzannah London to offset her navy netted hat from Jane Taylor millinery which perched atop her understated updo. To round off her look, Prince Edward's wife wore her 'Rosalia 65 Ballet Pink Patent Pointed Pumps with Pearl Detail' from Jimmy Choo and a pair of extravagant earrings - the '5.20cts Platinum Three Row Diamond Hoop Earrings' from G. Collins & Sons which retail for a staggering £24,500.

The Duke and Duchess were the guests of honour at the Secretary of State’s Garden Party at the royal residence in Northern Ireland. Their Royal Highnesses met with people from across Northern Ireland who have made a positive impact in the wider community.

The royal was last spotted on an outing with her husband last week when the pair headed to the Paralympic Games in Paris. She opted for the 'Aria Pearl Dots Tea Dress' from Suzannah London for a put-together daytime look which was accessorised with the 'C Décor' sunglasses from Cartier.

Meanwhile, an August evening at the theatre called for a more elevated look. Sophie and Edward attended a special performance of Starlight Express in support of The Orpheus Centre at the Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre where the Duchess was ravishing in billowing satin in the form of the 'Gelato' dress by Matelier.

The floaty printed number was teamed with the 'Vintage Indigo' bag from Matelier and a pair of statement gold earrings. In other news Mia and Mike were enjoying a father-daughter day out at a golf trial in Sutton Coldfield, and while the I'm A Celebrity contestant was there to take part in the round of golf, he made sure his young daughter felt supported as she wrapped her arms around him during a break. With the photos taken just days before her return to school, it's likely the young royal's mind was on the new term. Mia and her younger siblings, Lena and Lucas, are all used to spending one-on-one time with their dad. Their mother is busy with her equestrian career, so Mike is comfortable solo parenting, with the doting dad often spotted out and about with the kids, acing dad time.

Mike is known for being comfortable with affection, regularly showering his wife Zara with love while out and about "There is a noticeable closeness between them, even when they are not physically touching, demonstrating that the pair have a strong connection and are more than happy to be in each other’s personal space, even when in public," body language expert Darren Stanton told HELLO!. "It’s clear to see they are a couple who thrive in each other’s company and are very much in love.” Mike's easy manner even manages to keep wayward Prince Louis in line, with one comically stern look from the rugby pro convincing the little Prince to behave himself while at the Platinum Jubilee concert back in 2022.

Someone who can convince Prince Louis to be on his best behaviour is certainly skilled in the parenting department! The royal, 43, who shares daughters Mia, ten, and Lena, five, and son Lucas, three, with former England rugby star Mike Tindall, showed off her athletic prowess as she effortlessly manoeuvred her horse through a challenging course of hurdles. The daughter of Princess Anne showed off her athletic frame in fitted white jodhpurs and sleek black riding boots, adding a white cropped-sleeve top and black jacket to her professional ensemble. Zara embraced her natural beauty as she went makeup-free in the heat, slicking her blonde hair into a neat low ponytail. #princeharry #meghanmarkle #kingcharles #royalfamily #princewilliam #katemiddleton #camilla #princeandrew #sarahferguson #princesscharlotte #princegeorge #princeloius #archie #britishroyals #royals #princessanne
