Duchess Sophie sparked a  right royal frenzy with her latest frock during another appearance in Malta.

The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh attended the King’s Birthday Reception at the residence of the British High Commissioner, Villa de Giorgio in Naxxar, on the third day of the royal tour.

Edward and Sophie travelled to Malta on Monday for a four-day visit to mark the 60th anniversary of its independence and celebrate the country’s shared heritage and continuing collaboration with the UK.

On Wednesday evening, Sophie looked stunning in Zimmerman’s Halcyon midi dress (£895) which she paired with a pair of red suede pointy heels by Jimmy Choo (£650)

She accessorised the look with Giulia Barela’s Africa ring (£128), a Monica Vinader friendship bracelet (£128) and the mini Swank bracelet by Roxanne Assoulin (£91).

Another one agreed: “I would love to have an afternoon just wandering around Sophie’s closets.”

A third one said: “She smashed it out of the park!”

A fourth one commented: “Beautiful! Sophie loves her Jimmy Choo pumps! but her dresses are always perfect.”

While a fifth one opined: “This dress!!! Another stunner that I’d love to wear. She’s always so lovely.”

Earlier in the day, Edward and Sophie toured Villa Guardamangia in the outskirts of the Maltese capital Valletta and heard about restoration work taking place on the now dilapidated building.

The late Queen and Philip lived there between 1949 and 1951 while the prince was stationed in Malta as a serving Royal Navy officer.
