Lady Louise Windsor was honoured at Westminster Abbey as the Duchess of Edinburgh made a stylish arrival.

Sophie, 60, has arrived at the London landmark for a Service of Commemoration and Thanksgiving to celebrate Anzac Day - a public holiday in both Australia and New Zealand.


Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh has attended several Anzac Day commemorations in London today, organised by the Australian and New Zealand High Commissions.

At the Service of Commemoration and Thanksgiving, Sophie looked elegant in a £2,590 navy coat from Suzannah Hunter.

She accessorised with a black Jane Taylor Millinery trilby hat, which also belongs to her daughter Lady Louise, as pointed out by royal fashion finder Remoulade Sauce.

The 21-year-old was first seen wearing the navy version of the headwear on Christmas Day in 2023.

Louise has been absent from royal life since last Christmas, as she is currently studying for her exams at the University of St Andrews.

For footwear, Sophie wore suede block heels from Penelope Chilvers, which she has owned since 2019.

The mother-of-two attended a Dawn Service at Hyde Park Corner this morning, arriving shortly before 5am.

The Duchess of Edinburgh also attended the Wreath Laying Ceremony at the Cenotaph and laid a wreath on behalf of the King.

Anzac Day has been observed in London since King George V attended the first service at Westminster Abbey in 1916 to mark the anniversary of the landings at Gallipoli in 1915.

Since then, the services have become an important moment to commemorate all Australians and New Zealanders who lost their lives in conflict and recognise all those who have served.

Anzac Day is commemorated as a public holiday in both Australia and New Zealand, with memorial ceremonies held at various locations.

Lady Louise was not present on Easter Sunday with her parents, Prince Edward and Sophie, as she is currently busy in her third year of university.

The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh were instead joined by Louise's younger brother, James, Earl of Wessex.
