The Duchess of Edinburgh, Sophie, has been showcasing her elegant style during a four-day official visit to Japan with her husband, Prince Edward. On the second day of their trip, she wore a printed silk dress by British designer Suzannah London, named the Dolce Vita Silk Twill Shirt Dress, valued at £2,190, which features an easy silhouette made from beautiful Italian printed silk, three-quarter length sleeves, pockets, silk-covered buttons, and a self-tie belt. Sophie attended several engagements including a visit to the Nezu Museum in Tokyo, known for its collection of pre-modern Japanese and East Asian art, and met with museum heads. She also visited the Ukraine Mental Health Exchange Center Tokyo, participating in a calligraphy workshop and engaging with Ukrainian refugees supported by the center. Earlier in the visit, the Duke and Duchess met with Japan's Crown Prince and Crown Princess Akishino, planting an oak sapling to symbolize the strong relationship between the Royal and Imperial families.
