Duchess Sophie Curtsies So Low to King Charles That She Loses Her On-Trend Wedges at Flower Show

Duchess Sophie curtseying to King Charles at a flower show.

Duchess Sophie can't stop, won't stop when it comes to one of summer's hottest shoe trends, as she showed at the Royal Windsor Flower Show over the weekend. The Duchess of Edinburgh once again sported comfy wedges as she joined brother-in-law King Charles at the annual gardening event on Saturday, June 7—and the duchess gave such an impressive curtsy that she nearly stepped out of her shoe.

Sophie—who has been married to The King's brother, Prince Edward, since 1999—recycled a very on-theme blue floral Me+Em dress for the occasion, pairing it with tan leather Penelope Chilvers wedges and a navy corduroy blazer from Frame. This is the second time she's worn espadrille wedges in June, having attended a tea party in a different pair of Penelope Chilvers espadrille wedges last week.
