The Duchess of Edinburgh<\/a> looked fabulous in a \u2018colour-of-the-moment\u2019 suit this week, as she attended a special charity event. Sophie off-set the formality of the tailoring with a refined \u2018messy bun\u2019, pulling her hair back into a low loop which she secured with a scrunchie. <\/p>\n

The Duchess\u2019 wine-toned burgundy blazer and suit trousers were the perfect autumnal choice, as she joined a prize-giving event to mark an important occasion. For World Sight Day, Sophie met with England women\u2019s football team goalie, Hannah Hampton, to present her with a Love Your Eyes Special Recognition Award.<\/p>\n

\u2018Born with strabismus, a serious vision condition that left her with almost no depth perception, Hannah underwent multiple surgeries at a young age,\u2019 explained a post by the Royal Family. \u2018Defying the odds, Hannah is today one of the world\u2019s leading goalkeepers, inspiring millions with her story.\u2019<\/p>\n

It’s been a busy week for the Royal Family, with the Princess of Wales<\/a> also heading out for official visits and opting for tailoring. Kate opted for a monochrome green suit ensemble from Victoria Beckham\u2019s line. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Prince William joined forces with The King for a father-son occasion, attending an event with what he described as \u2018global changemakers\u2019 at London\u2019s Natural History Museum, ahead of the COP30 Summit in Brazil.<\/p>\n
