Duchess Sophie, since her promotion to the King, has been exuding a more confident sartorial approach in her recent outings and this is proving to have its own ‘effect’.
Prince Edward and his wife have always preferred to be low-key royals, but given the scale of royal commitments and duties they carry out at the monarch’s behest, Sophie has experimented more with her style.
The Duchess of Edinburgh, who is Honorary President of LEAF (Linking Environment And Farming), attended the Groundswell Regenerative Agriculture Festival at Lannock Farm in Hitchin last week.
There, she met with farmers, environmental experts and exhibitors to learn more about regenerative agriculture and sustainable farming practices.
She also took the opportunity to reveal her new hairstyle, the shortest she has worn in around fifteen years. She was also styled by one of her favorite designers, Penelope Chilvers, who seemed delighted that Sophie chose her creation.
“What a wonderful moment to see Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Edinburgh wearing head-to-toe Penelope Chilvers while championing British farmers and agricultural innovation,” Penelope wrote for the royal.
“After 24 years of making beautifully crafted shoes, last season marked the beginning of our next chapter,” she continued.
“As we continue to create a wardrobe designed to fit effortlessly alongside our iconic shoes, we were delighted that the Duchess chose to wear our best-selling Goldie Boots with the Lancaster Denim Skirt and Silk Bow Blouse.”
