The Duchess of Edinburgh attends London reception

On Tuesday evening, the Duchess of Edinburgh attended the third annual Orbis Visionaries reception at the historic Battersea Power Station, in London.

 Sophie is the Global Ambassador for the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness and has travelled to Ethiopia, Bangladesh and India, to support Orbis’s work. For the special outing, the mother-of-two looked effortlessly elegant in a floral Etro shirt dress emblazoned with a Paisley print. She slipped on a pair of nude kitten heels and swept her blonde locks into a chic updo.
