Duchess of Edinburgh Sophie Wears Camouflage for Sandhurst Event

Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, Swaps Day Dresses for Military Camouflage

Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, is best known for her impeccable royal fashion sense. But recently, she traded her signature day dresses for military camouflage, stepping into a whole new role. At Sandhurst, she joined troops in the mess hall for the prestigious Duchess of Edinburgh Cup 2025, a competition named in her honour. That’s right—the duchess ditched her designer dresses for army greens, and we have to say, she absolutely rocked the look!

A Royal with a Hands-On Approach

Sophie’s new military look is more than just a fashion statement. Her participation in this treasured Sandhurst event shows her commitment to supporting the armed forces and honoring tradition. The Duchess mingled with troops, sharing laughs and camaraderie in the mess hall. You could say Sophie is the ultimate multitasker—one minute she’s at a glamorous royal event, and the next, she’s side by side with soldiers, proving royals can do it all.

It’s inspiring to see a member of the royal family so hands-on, especially when it involves muddy boots and camouflage. We can only imagine the Queen’s reaction: “Oh Sophie, you wear it well!” If only all dress codes included a side of heroism and a splash of khaki.
