The Duchess of Edinburgh returned from a recent trip to Kenya and Somalia before heading to Northern Ireland on Tuesday. The 61-year-old Duchess Sophie, wife of Prince Edward, visited the Bloomfield Walkways Community Centre in Belfast to meet representatives from Guide Dogs, a charity she supports as patron.
Striking Footwear Choice
Duchess Sophie turned heads with her bold selection of Jimmy Choo Cycas 80 Ankle Boots in Garnet. These burgundy ankle boots, valued at around £1,000, boast a unique skinny three-inch heel that elegantly flares into a circular base, paired with a sharp pointed toe for a playful edge.
The unconventional design adds a cheeky flair, diverging from more traditional styles and complementing her engagement with the community centre.
