The Duchess of Edinburgh looked supremely elegant on Tuesday as she stepped out on day two of her royal tour of Malta with her husband Prince Edward.

Duchess Sophie, 59, was seen wearing a waist-cinching white skirt covered in orange flowers with a classic A-line silhouette. It was teamed with a silky white shirt – an unexpected combo for the lover of ditsy floral prints.

Prince Edward’s wife also carried a bold orange handbag from Sophie Habsburg as she dropped wreaths at the entrance to the Grand Harbour in Valetta. Earlier in the day, Edward and Sophie opened a new monument to submariners who lost their lives in the Second World War – the Submariners’ Walkway.

The royal rounded off her look with her wedges by Penelope Chilvers which saw her through the summer. They weren’t without their division of public opinion, however, as she wore them on a visit to the Dior gallery in Paris in line with the Olympics this summer.

“I love my espadrilles and they are easy and light for summer BUT to attend the Dior Gallery in them is a no no!,” wrote one royal follower.

Another added: “The dress is so pretty and Sophie is representing classic British style. The look, paired with the sporty footwear, is a bit casual for a private tour by Dior officials.”

It isn’t the first floral look for Sophie on the Maltese tour. The mother of two was seen on the evening of day one at an event held at Whitehall Mansions, the Residence of the British High Commissioner in Ta’Xbiex, where the Edinburghs met local dignitaries.
