The Duchess of Edinburgh made a graceful return to the Royal Albert Hall on Tuesday evening as she continued one of her longest-standing royal patronages.
Sophie attended the BBC Proms in her role as Patron of the Hallé Concerts Society, joining guests for an evening celebrating classical music at one of Britain’s most iconic concert venues.
The Duchess has supported the Hallé for many years and is a regular face at performances.
For the occasion, the Duchess opted for elegance in the Ambrosia Teja Dress by Matelier.
This flowing design was paired with simple accessories, perfectly suited the prestigious setting of the Royal Albert Hall.
Pick a bob for fuller-looking hair
The Duchess debuted a chic new bob last month, surprising royal watchers with one of her biggest beauty transformations in years.
Her shorter cut has quickly become one of her most talked-about style updates, giving her signature blonde hair added volume and movement while framing her face with a fresh, modern finish.
The appearance comes during a busy summer for the Duchess, who has continued carrying out engagements across the UK while supporting a wide range of charities and cultural organisations.
