We often admire the Princess of Wales for having an ageless style but Duchess Sophie is another royal whose fashion staples are as classic as it gets. Both women love tailoring and the Duchess of Edinburgh marked her 30th birthday back in 1995 in a checked blazer that she could easily re-wear to this day.
As she celebrates her 61st birthday on 20th January, we couldn't help looking back at this original grey blazer, which she styled with straight-leg black trousers and a cosy white knit. Sophie wasn't a working royal then and so she spent her birthday at her PR job, though the addition of chunky gold necklaces brought some birthday glamour to her ensemble.
