The Princess of Wales, 42, opted for an understated look when she accompanied Prince William on a visit to Southport to privately meet bereaved families, first responders, and members of the local community impacted by the tragic knife attack in July.  

Kate chose a chocolate brown Alexander McQueen coat over a Whistles burgundy polka dot dress with an added pussy bow tie. Rounding off her look was a pair of chocolate brown heels.

Duchess Sophie

The Duchess of Edinburgh, 59, looked elegant during her emotional visit to Chad. She was seen having coffee with Amina Priscille Longoh, the Minister of State for Women and Child Protection for Chad during her solo visit.

Sophie made a subtle tweak to the unexpected lime green ‘Brooke’ dress from Amanda Ross x Soler London – swapping out the crew neck for a flattering V-shaped version. She also wore a metallic belt.

The royal’s pastel pink Crisoni ensemble was teamed with a crisp white shirt and suede pumps. Meanwhile, her hair was the longest it has been in five years – tucked effortlessly behind one ear.
