Princess Sophie appears tense at royal event after historical Ukraine trip

Princess Sophie appeared elegant at the Royal Windsor Horse Show, though she appeared tense at one moment.

The Duchess of Edinburgh, looked beautiful as ever in a navy skirt as she accompanied her husband, Prince Edward, 60, at the annual event in Windsor, Berkshire. 

The mother-of-two styled her skirt with a suede, belted jacket and black boots, while the Duke of Edinburgh opted for a tweed jacket and blue trousers.

Sophie wore her blonde locks down and hanging past her shoulders as she chatted to an official at the event upon arrival.

She then hopped into a buggy as she was taken across the field ahead of the action on day four of the event.

Sophie and Edward's appearance at the Royal Windsor Horse Show is their second this year. 

It comes after her has made history with her Ukraine trip as she became the first member of the Royal Family to visit the country since the start of the conflict.

The palace shared photos of the Duchess visit on social media.

According to palace, “The Duchess of Edinburgh became the first member of the Royal Family to visit Ukraine since the start of the Russian invasion.

“Her Royal Highness met President Zelensky and First Lady Olena Zelenska as well as women, men and children impacted by the war.”

Princess Sophie’s visit comes days after King Charles announced his return to public-facing duties this week.
