Princess Sophie beats Kate Middleton to earn new 'title'

Besides being a responsible member of the royal family, Princess Sophie is now being hailed as also the “chicest one,” owing to her dynamic fashion sense.

The Duchess of Edinburgh stepped out with her husband Prince Edward in a purple knee-length coat from Prada for the Easter morning service in Windsor last week.

Writing for The Telegraph, royal author Tamara Ibrahim claimed the duchess “looks far more elegant and au courant now than she has before.”

She also noted Sophie could easily give Kate Middleton a “run for her money” once her outfits start getting as heavily scrutinized by royal watchers as the princess’.

Speaking to the outlet, personal stylist Annabel Hoden echoed similar sentiments, saying: “There’s nothing matronly here.”

“She has transformed her look by wearing flattering tailoring and coordinated outfits, and this empowers and invigorates.

“She is building a youthful-yet-appropriate capsule wardrobe that works for her proportions and life.”

Abraham wrote her fashion and conduct has especially now come into focus as senior members of the royal family step back from public eye in the wake of a health crisis.

“While our own wardrobes are not so high stakes, there are lessons from Sophie’s stealth makeover that we can inject into the way we dress for our own lives,” she noted.
