Blazers are a clothing staple for the Royal Family all year round, but the Duchess of Edinburgh just ditched this go-to for another style that's caught my eye. She joined the people of Alderney this week to celebrate the 80th Anniversary of their Homecoming in 1945, after they had previously been evacuated to the mainland ahead of German Occupation in 1940.
Duchess Sophie delivered a message on behalf of the King and her outfit was respectful with a festive twist in the form of her velvet jacket. Like many of her favourite pieces, it's by a British clothing brand - Laurie and Jules - and the Beatriz design is tailored to perfection.
