Duchess Sophie can always be relied upon to bring out the best pieces in her wardrobe for a special occasion, and the annual Easter Sunday service at St George’s Chapel in the grounds at Windsor is no exception.
For her Easter Sunday look, the Duchess of Edinburgh, 59, always looks fabulous in a brightly coloured look, accessorised with an apt feathered fascinator.

There might even be the odd matching moment with her daughter Lady Louise…
2019
© GettyKicking things off in 2019, after the Duchess took a break from the annual service in light of the Covid-19 pandemic, we have this navy blue number which dressed up her black floral A-line dress. Her daughter Lady Louise, 20, wore a more conservative style in the same navy hue as her mother’s.
2018

2015

2013
© GettyIn 2013, the royal opted for the boldest of looks, rocking a cobalt blue dress and a peacock feather-adorned fascinator with some serious height.
2012
© GettyIn 2012 it was all about the feathered hat. Sophie styled her hot pink high-necked coat dress with an oversized cream hat decorated with brown speckled feathers.
2011
© GettyThe award for the most Avant Garde piece in Sophie’s collection must go to this piece from 2011. The royal wore a navy blue dress, accessorised with this pale blue feathered piece that came stuck out from her head at a right angle and was secured to her head with a thin Alice band.
2009

2000
