For the engagement in Portsmouth, the Duchess of Edinburgh wore a beige blazer from Me + Em, one of her favourite brands.
The Italian Wool Military Button Blazer in Pale Camel currently retails for £325 and some of the jacket’s luxe details include its four military-inspired buttons “with an antique gold-toned finish” giving “the tailored staple a luxe edge” and its Italian Recycled-Wool Blend.
The designer recommended styling the blazer with jeans for a casual yet polished style, like Sophie’s casual chic work ensemble.
The fashion designer’s website explained that the jacket is “endlessly wearable and detailed with a mock double-breasted fastening stitched with military-inspired buttons”.

The buttons’ tarnished-gold finish will “elevate off-duty and office-bound outfitting with ease,” Me + Em explained.
Underneath the blazer, Sophie wore a white shirt, and for accessories, she opted for a gold brooch and a pair of black and gold earrings.
The beautiful earrings by Italian designer Lucia Odescalchi are the Chainging Berlin Earrings, with “gold plated silver, black silver central element, casted from a mould of an original cut-steel brooch from the Victorian period”, and have a price tag of 200 euros (£175).
On Twitter, one said the hat was “terrible” and another one added that “she really needs someone to help her dress, the hat and boots don’t go”.
An Instagram user commented: “Love the coat and colour. Hate the boots and hat. Seems too heavy for a spring look.”
“I kind of like the mad hatter Alice in Wonderland concept, but it might be too warm for these boots,” said a third one.
Another royal fan and Instagram user added: “I like the colours together, but the boots, hat and bag are all too big. Looks totally out of proportion to me. The bag looks more like a business folder than a clutch you take to church.”
