The Duchess of Edinburgh has been photographed wearing £1,320 worth of jewellery as the royals issued a fresh update.

Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh is celebrating her 60th birthday on Monday, and the Royal Family has marked the occasion by releasing a new photograph.


The duchess can be seen posing against a window frame in a black turtleneck jumper and a white pleated skirt from Emilia Wickstead.

The "Pris Pleated Midi Skirt" is no longer in stock, but has been in Sophie's wardrobe since 2021.

She last wore the garment during an official royal trip to Colombia in November 2023.

To accessorise, Sophie donned her "Felt Gold Chain Bracelet with Sliced Diamond", which has been a staple in the mother-of-two's jewellery collection since 2020.

Although currently sold out, the bracelet costs a whopping £375.

The simple gold chain resting on Sophie's black jumper looked very elegant for the Duchess of Edinburgh's 60th birthday portrait.

Her earrings appear to be the "Tahitian pearl and diamond drop earrings" from Gold & Platinum Studio.

The jewels, which retail for £945, are described as "beautiful dove grey pearls and diamonds" that "come together to create these striking drop earrings."

Sophie's official 60th birthday portrait was taken by photographer Christina Ebenezer at Bagshot Park, the Duchess of Edinburgh's home, in January.

GB News understands that the duchess was interested in Ebenezer’s creative style of photography and wanted to support a rising female photographer.

Sophie is thought to have a renewed sense of excitement and commitment to her work around gender equality as she approaches her 60th birthday.

In addition, she is looking forward to further embracing and championing this issue in the years to come.

Born in Nigeria, Ebenezer spent her early years in Lagos, before moving to join her immediate family in London.

She has been named a British Fashion Council New Wave Creative and a Forbes Under 30 Arts & Culture Leader.
