The Duchess of Edinburgh looked the picture of elegance in a pink and white floral dress as she joined members of the Royal Family at St George’s Chapel, Windsor, on Monday afternoon for the annual Order of the Garter service.
Sophie waved to the crowds as she arrived and stood with the Princess of Wales while they waited for the procession of Knights and Ladies of the Garter to go past.
They will then join their husbands and other senior royals who have been initiated into the Garter in horse-drawn carriages, before heading back to Windsor Castle.

The Order of the Garter is the oldest order of chivalry in the United Kingdom and is the most senior knighthood in the British honours system, which is only outranked by the Victoria Cross and the George Cross.
The Order itself was established by King Edward III on St George’s Day (April 23) in 1348 and has continued every year for 678 years since.
It sees Knights and Ladies of the Garter wear ceremonial robes, and Tudor bonnets with ostrich feather plumes attend a service at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle, before taking part in a procession around the grounds.
There are currently 10 members of the Royal Family who have become Royal Knights and Royal Ladies within the Order.
King Charles was made a Royal Knight Companion of the Order of the Garter in 1958, when he became the Prince of Wales. Since Queen Elizabeth’s death in 2022, he became the Sovereign of the Most Noble Order of the Garter.
The Princess of Wales and the Duchess of Edinburgh, however, are not in the ancient Order but watch the service and procession from St George’s Chapel, before taking part in a carriage procession around the castle grounds.
