On April 2, 2025, the Duchess of Edinburgh visited a dementia research laboratory at the University of Edinburgh founded by Race Against Dementia. The Duchess toured the Dyson RAD Dementia Research Acceleration Project Lab, where Dr. Claire Durrant and her team are investigating the causes and consequences of synapse loss in Alzheimer’s disease.
Race Against Dementia was founded by former Formula 1 driver Sir Jackie Stewart following the dementia diagnosis of his wife, Helen. The charity funds early-career researchers to accelerate progress towards a cure for dementia. The Duchess of Edinburgh is the Royal Patron of the charity Race Against Dementia.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful.

Elégante dans cette robe dont la couleur lui convient très bien ; bon choix que ses bijoux tant au niveau des boucles d'oreilles que de la chaîne avec un petit médaillon !
ReplyDeleteLovely dress, absolutely excellent hairdo and good earrings! Just one little quibble: The necklace pendant is half showing, half hidden. The choice of the right length fitting the neckline is quite important, if it does not, then the jewelry looks like accidentally not removed when putting on the clothes, instead of enhancing the appearance.
ReplyDeleteNice colour, suits her well. I find the cuff on the sleeve not to my liking too much fabric, but it fits with the dress design. Overall a good choice.
ReplyDeleteIt’s a very pretty dress in a colour and shape that suits the Duchess well. My only small quibble is the sleeves. They seem a bit dated now to me. I think the dress would look even nicer if the over long ruffles were removed. No doubt the designer would disagree! (V.M.)
ReplyDeleteI fully agree with you; believe shorten the sleeves by a couple of inches would already improve the look
DeleteDon’t Like the dress, for the rest she looks good.
ReplyDeleteShe’s always looking so fresh ❤️
ReplyDeleteI agree it dates the dress. Otherwise lovely choice
ReplyDeleteMany of us agree that the yellow dress is lovely, but would look so much nicer without the ruffles on the sleeve. Then the dress would have a more chic and clean look about it.
ReplyDeleteVery elegant and très royale…
ReplyDeleteLovely colour and style of dress. Length just manages to be okay. Think the cuffs stop it from being too plain
ReplyDeleteSophie looks lovely, the color of this dress really suits her. She looks elegant and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe problem with the sleeve ruffles is that they're too big - too much fabric. On the dress that Sophie is wearing, they interfere with the pleats of her skirt and make the whole dress look messy. Also, I don't really like how the sleeves ride up on her elbow area. By comparison, the dress on the model looks quite acceptable. Could Sophie's dress have something to do with wrong sizing? (meaning too big).

I think you draw the right conclusion one size too big. You see eg that the sleeves are much longer than at the model.
DeleteI don’t think she has the wrong size but rather that she is differently proportioned from the model - as the majority of women are.
DeleteIt's not too big, look at the shoulders, they are in the right place. Sophie's body is different from the model's body just like @anon 16:09 said. Normal people doesn't look like paper dolls. If it would be one size smaller her upper part couldn't fit in it. She looks fine to me.
DeleteShe definitely needs a good taylor or seamstress to shorten her dress and to take away the sleeve ruffles. If she wants to keep the sleeve ruffles because they are not bad at all, her taylor could make the sleeves shorter and keep the ruffles. Now they are covering her hands too much.
ReplyDeleteVery elegant look for the DoE today.

No. This is definitely not a size too big. Look how the waist and bust fit perfectly. Anything smaller and the bust would be pulling. This is a case of needing alternation in the sleeves for her particular dimensions. A decent seamstress can manage that nicely, oh — if only.
ReplyDeleteA lovely shade of yellow for the dress, however, Sophie seems washed out, not pale, but the colour and her makeup do not agree with the shade of the dress.
