Duchess Sophie was seen paying a sweet tribute to her daughter Lady Louise as the Royal Family gathered to commemorate 80 years since the end of the Second World War.
The Duchess of Edinburgh was present alongside her husband Prince Edward during the ceremony in London on Monday.
While Louise is normally know to take fashion cues from her mother, it was Sophie borrowed an accessory from the wardrobe of the 21-year-old to match her pink look for the celebrations.
The Duchess wore a candy pink headband from Jane Taylor which was decorated with a sparkling assortment of beads, pearls and sequins that twinkled in the light.

Lady Louise and her brother James, Earl of Wessex were notably absent from Monday’s proceedings due to an apparent clash with their academic commitments.
While the Royal Family did not officially announce the reason for their absence, the children of the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh are currently immersed in their studies.
The 21-year-old royal is currently in her third year of an English degree at St Andrews University in Scotland while her brother is working hard on his A-levels.
This marks the second time Louise was forced to miss an event, having to drop out of the Royal Family's annual Easter celebrations due to her university career.
