The Duchess of Edinburgh oozed elegance on Thursday as she stepped out to review the annual attestation parade at the British Gurkha Camp on day four of her and Prince Edward's official tour of Nepal.
Duchess Sophie, 60, sculpted her figure in the gorgeous Zimmerman 'Halliday Ruffled Floral-Print Linen Midi Dress' which retails for £895 and features a flattering fit and flare silhouette – an unexpected choice for the royal who defaults to A-line cuts.

Just the day before Sophie embraced her love of florals as she headed out in an unexpectedly sheer skirt. The duchess spoke to members of the Queen Elizabeth II Gurkhas on a visit to the Gurkha Welfare Trust Welfare Centre in Pokhara wearing the 'Lighburst' skirt from Zimmerman which was covered in poppies.

On 5 February, Sophie showcased her love of Zimmerman by choosing the brand's 'Ottie' dress for an evening reception focused on youth at the British Ambassador’s residence in Kathmandu.
