The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh are currently in Malta. The royal couple are on the Island to mark the 60th anniversary of Malta’s independence and celebrate the country’s shared heritage and continued collaboration with the UK. During their flying visit, which spans three days, the pair went to an evening event held at Whitehall Mansions, the Residence of the British High Commissioner in Ta’Xbiex, where they met local dignitaries.
Dressing to impress, Sophie, 59, looked beautiful in a brand new dress by one of her favourite designers, Erdem.
The blond beauty wore the £795 style, which is known as the ‘Midi Long Sleeve Dress’ with high heels by Jimmy Choo, and fabulous gold hoop earrings by Giulia Barela.Sophie’s dress was of the ruched, slightly body conscious variety and it was delightfully adorned with pretty red blooms. So chic!

She had actually worn the style seven years before, on Christmas day in 2017, when she joined Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Prince and Princess of Wales and King Charles, at church. At the time, Sophie accessorised with navy heels with a burgundy clutch bag.
