The Duchess of Edinburgh continues to be on-trend for summer<\/a>, this time in green at Trooping the Colour, the annual celebration celebrating the King’s birthday in London on Saturday.<\/p>\n

For the occasion, Sophie wore a green silk dress with three-quarter puff sleeves and a matching pillbox hat, completing the outfit with gold jewelry. She arrived at the event in a horse-drawn carriage along with Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, the husband of Princess Anne<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Her husband, Prince Edward, arrived on horseback, alongside his sister, Princess Anne, and his nephew, Prince William. As Colonel of the Scots Guards, the Duke of Edinburgh wore the regiment\u2019s full ceremonial uniform, along with the Thistle Star and Sash, GCVO Star, Coronation and Jubilee medals, and his New Zealand and Canadian orders. As a personal aide-de-camp to the King, he wore aiguilettes, ornamental braided cords on the shoulders, and bore the cyphers of both Charles and his mother, Queen Elizabeth.<\/p>\n

At a recent afternoon tea<\/a> at the Castle Hotel in Windsor honoring women of distinction, the Duchess wore a romantic, cornflower blue Victoria dress by Aspiga<\/a>, featuring a nipped-in waist, a tiered skirt, elbow-length sleeves, a puff shoulder, and ruffled cuffs. She completed the look with a diamond-studded oak leaf bracelet by Asprey<\/a> and a pair of neutral espadrille wedges with wrap-style laces and a flirty peep toe. While the exact hue of her heel is sold out, the brand still carries the same style of Spanish-made wedge<\/a> in a vacation-ready sunset shade.<\/p>\n

The Duchess often returns to shades of pale blue time and again. She previously turned to a shade of Wedgwood blue last month when the royal family marked the 80th anniversary of VE Day with a Service of Thanksgiving at Westminster Abbey<\/a>. On that occasion, she wore a Beulah London gown with a coordinating, offset fascinator.<\/p>\n
