Duchess Sophie, at the age of 60, has been making a profound impact during her visit to Nepal, blending her impeccable sense of style with her commitment to global causes. She arrived at Dwarika's Hotel dressed in a stunning floral midi dress from Etro, accessorized with Jimmy Choos and a stylish 'Vintage Indigo Bag' from Matelier. Her visit was marked by a significant meeting with prominent Nepali women's rights activists, showcasing her dedication to advocating for gender equality.
During her stay, Duchess Sophie attended a Buckingham Palace reception for newly-elected members of the British parliament. Her role as the Global Ambassador of the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB) brought her to Kirtipur Eye Hospital, where she interacted with patients and doctors, underlining her dedication to improving global eye health.
In an earlier engagement, she met with Colonel Commandant of the Brigade of Gurkhas Major General Strickland DSO MBE and British Ambassador to Nepal, Rob Fenn. Her visit also included a meeting with the President of Nepal, Ram Chandra Paudel, and his wife Sabita at the Presidential Palace. For this occasion, she donned the elegant 'Yahvi' dress from Beulah in cream, featuring a classic A-line cut and fluted sleeves.
Her fashion choices during the trip have been as noteworthy as her engagements. She wore Mary Katrantzou's 'Airmail floral-print woven midi dress' in teal and mustard, paired with pink suede pumps from Prada. Her look was completed with floral hoop earrings by Giulia Barela and a pink-toned eyeshadow look enhanced with black eyeliner. Her hair was styled in an understated half updo, adding a graceful touch to her appearance.
