During day four of the Royal Windsor Horse Show, Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, appeared to pay a subtle tribute to her brother-in-law, King Charles. As Vice-President of the event, which held special significance for her late mother-in-law, Queen Elizabeth, Sophie showcased her equestrian spirit while enjoying the festivities at Windsor Castle.

Dressed in a stylish Eleventy wool blazer and a floral Zimmermann dress, Sophie complemented her outfit with Giulia Barela gold earrings and the Royal Windsor Horse Club badge. However, it was the cornflowers pinned to her lapel that drew particular attention, as these pale blue flowers are known to be a favorite of King Charles.

Royal watchers speculated that the choice of cornflowers was a thoughtful nod to the King, highlighting the Duchess’s connection to her family and the event’s royal heritage. Sophie’s ensemble not only reflected her personal style but also served as a heartfelt homage to her royal family ties.
