A third commented: “She looks fabulous in that dress. I’m not as crazy about her hair today but it is still lovely. She’s the ultimate professional[…]”.

While another fan chimed: “Love everything [blue heart emoji] especially the color palette [star and heart eyes emoji] but I must say, those heels are [fire emoji] lovely to see her radiant smile, looking forward to upcoming engagements.(sic)”
Lastly, someone said: “Our beautiful #SuperSophie arriving today at the London College of Fashion’s new East Bank campus, in Stratford’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London.”
The Duchess of Edinburgh paid a special visit yesterday to London College of Fashion’s new home in East Bank.
Sophie – who is patron of the LFC – met with staff and students and viewed the Postgraduate Class of 2024 exhibition, showcasing the produce of courses including Fashion Artefact, Fashion Photography, and Costume Design for Performance.
The royal also met students at the Digital Learning Lab, observing a digital garment fitting.
It comes as Duchess Sophie is among other senior royals who have stepped up and attended several engagements after King Charles’s cancer diagnosis.
The monarch had to postpone many of his arrangements as he undergoes treatment for his illness.
