Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, stunned in a purple coat on Easter Sunday, when she joined other members of the Royal Family in Windsor to attend the morning service.
The senior royal paired her boldly-coloured coat with a snakeskin clutch bag and a pair of pearly heels.
But it was her head accessory that caught the attention of a few royal fans, who noted the beret, which matched the shoes, was a “mother and daughter re-wear”.
Royal fan and X user @Mari_Edinburghs spotted that the light-coloured beret had been previously worn by the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh’s beloved daughter Lady Louise Windsor.
The young royal donned the hat at the Easter service she attended with her family two years ago, paired with an elegant burgundy dress sporting floral decorations.
Sharing the pictures taken from the two events, the social media user wrote: “We have another mother and daughter re-wear today.
“The Duchess of Edinburgh is wearing the same hat Lady Louise wore to Easter Service in 2022.”
Sophie’s nod to her daughter came as Lady Louise missed the service for the second year in a row.
Her absence is likely due to her studies. The 20-year-old is studying English Literature at St Andrews University – where the Prince and Princess of Wales met more than 20 years ago.
According to the university’s website, both the week before and after Easter are still term-time, followed by two weeks of revisions ahead of the exams period starting on April 20.
A similar schedule would have made it difficult for Lady Louise to travel down to Windsor for the royal gathering.
The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh and their son James, Earl of Wessex, were among the small group of royals who accompanied King Charles and Queen Camilla to St George’s Chapel.
Also in attendance were Princess Anne and her husband Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew.
Today marked the monarch’s first major public appearance since Buckingham Palace announced he was being treated for cancer.
As he emerged from the chapel, the King was greeted by festive cheers and applause from the public gathered outside.
One man told the head of state: “Keep going strong and never give in.”
The King, who appeared to be in a splendid mood, replied with a joke, as he said: “I have to obey my instructions.”
