“Despite these impressive credentials, a large part of Sophie’s sartorial success is her relatability. She is always immaculately turned out – but somehow manages to feel ’normal’ rather than setting her style bar at dizzy heights which the general public could only gasp at.

“She is open about not having a stylist, but usually chooses the right colours to suit her lovely golden skin tone, and has adopted the ‘heels, brooch and a neat clutch’ formula as her signature style for occasion dressing.

“She also understands the impact of a good headpiece, and has worn the most exquisite millinery collection over the years.”

The fashion expert also highlighted how Sophie follows an established royal fashion precedent – colour-blocking.
