On March 11, 2024, members of the British Royal Family gathered for the annual Commonwealth Day Service at Westminster Abbey in London.
This service, a longstanding tradition since 1972, honors the diverse cultures and peoples of the Commonwealth nations.
As part of a series of events celebrating Commonwealth Day, the service at Westminster Abbey emphasizes the shared values of peace, equality, and cooperation.
The multi-faith event is celebrated across the Commonwealth and draws notable attention for both its symbolic importance and the royal attendees.
This year’s attendees included Queen Camilla, the Prince of Wales, Princess Anne, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh.
Each royal figure contributed to the grandeur of the occasion, but Duchess Sophie’s style stole the show.

The Duchess of Edinburgh, known for her refined yet understated sense of style, made an elegant appearance.
Sophie wore a sophisticated ensemble that perfectly complemented the solemnity of the day. Her look included a Suzannah x Joe Horner Gabriella Dress in a soft floral print, which she paired with a matching Suzannah Alabama Coat in stone.
Adding a modern touch, the Duchess accessorized with a Sophie Habsburg Minuit Clutch in grey and Prada Pointed Toe Pumps in a delicate blush pink.
Topping off her outfit was the Jane Taylor Damona Hat in white, a classic piece that added a polished, regal feel.
