Finishing off her chic look, Sophie wore the black and white pearl earrings she wore for her wedding. Prince Edward designed these touching earrings for his wife, and Sophie’s decision to wear such sentimental favorites has fans praising her.
Rewearing so many classic pieces, fans online have called Sophie down to earth and many are wanting her to be given a new title.
One wrote, “Sophie rocks it again! How elegant. And I just love those earrings.” Another added, “Sophie is a classy lady and I love that she reworks older hats.”
Another comment celebrated her dedication to reworking old pieces, and added that they’d love to see her made the Duchess of Edinburgh.
Sophie also delivered a rousing speech to the future Naval officers during her visit.
She said, “This is a big moment in your lives – the moment when you become serving officers in His Majesty’s Navy, the moment when you leave all the hard training behind you and take up the mantle of responsibility.”
“Until now you have been looking to others to guide you and show you the way. From now on, it is you who will be leading others. Leading – and leading well – takes skill. Officers who stand out are those who put the men and women with whom they serve first and in doing so seem to foster bonds of loyalty, credibility and respect.”
“A new generation of naval officers is born today. I hope you will be proud of what you have achieved and what you will go on to achieve.”
