Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, graced the Easter service at St George’s Chapel, joining other esteemed members of the royal family.
Her presence was marked by a stunning display as she arrived in a radiant purple coat, accentuated by sparkling shoes and a clutch bag crafted from snakeskin.
However, it was her choice of headpiece that caught the attention of eagle-eyed royal enthusiasts, who decoded a subtle tribute hidden in her attire.
Observant fans noted that Sophie’s barret bore a striking resemblance to one previously worn by Lady Louise Windsor, the beloved daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh.
This mother-daughter fashion moment was not lost on Mary, an avid royal enthusiast and former user at Mary underscore Edinburgh’s, who pointed out the connection between Sophie’s hat and the one worn by Lady Louise to an Easter service two years ago.
Dressed in an exquisite burgundy frock adorned with delicate flower designs, Lady Louise had sported the same hat during the Easter service she attended with her family in the past.
Sharing comparison photos from both occasions, a social media user remarked, “We have another mother and daughter re-wear today,” highlighting the touching fashion tribute between Sophie and Lady Louise.
Despite Lady Louise’s absence from this year’s service for the second consecutive year, Sophie’s nod towards her daughter did not go unnoticed.
Speculations arose regarding Lady Louise’s absence, with indications pointing towards her academic commitments.
The young royal, currently studying English literature at Test Andrews University, is amidst term time, with upcoming exams scheduled for April 20, making it challenging for her to attend the royal gathering in Windsor.
Accompanying King Charles and Queen Camilla to St George’s Chapel were a select group of royals, including the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, along with their son James, the Earl of Wessex.
The royal entourage also featured the presence of Princess Anne, Sarah Ferguson, Prince Andrew, and Vice-Admiral Sir Timothy Lawrence.
Notably, this public appearance marked King Charles’ first outing following the announcement of his cancer treatment.
As the monarch emerged from the chapel, well-wishers gathered outside, showering him with congratulatory cheers and words of encouragement.
