The duchess has worn the designer multiple times this year already

The Duchess of Edinburgh was spotted in an outfit by a notable designer at her most recent engagement.

Sophie attended the Surrey Space Centre on Tuesday in Guildford, where she was seen with the Duke of Kent in a rare joint engagement for the two.


The duchess was seen in a two-piece forest green suit from Victoria Beckham, which included a fitted single-breasted jacket and a pair of high-waisted flare suit trousers.

She accompanied the look with a deep pink, silky shirt, which contrasted the dark coloured suit.

Sophie accessorised the look with her Paola bag, in green, from Sophie Habsburg, which matched the matched with her forest suit look, as well as a pair of tan suede pumps from Penelope Chilvers.

She finished the look with a pair of small gold drop earrings from Guilia Barela.

This is not the first time this year that the duchess has chosen to don a Victoria Beckham outfit.

During her visit to the Thames Valley Air Ambulance to open the Pre-Hospital Education Centre earlier in the month, she sported a pair of light brown Alina trousers from the former Spice Girl to pair with her Gabriela Heart blazer.

The visit was described as a "morale boost" by the lifesaving organisation, coming after what proved to be their most demanding year on record.

Sophie toured the expanded facilities during the engagement.

In 2001, the then Countess of Wessex experienced a potentially fatal ectopic pregnancy at her Bagshot Park residence, requiring an emergency airlift to King Edward VII hospital in London for urgent surgery.

Despite this traumatic experience, Sophie went on to welcome two children: Lady Louise Windsor arrived in 2003, followed by James, Earl of Wessex, in 2007.

A year after her medical emergency, she personally expressed her gratitude to pilot Andy Busby and paramedic Tim Goddard at a charity fundraising dinner.

At the Pre-hospital Education Centre, the Duchess observed critical care paramedics and doctors as they worked through a training scenario.

Sophie also had the opportunity to handle essential medical equipment herself, even practising a lifesaving intervention during her time at the facility.

The hands-on experience gave Her Royal Highness direct insight into the rigorous preparation that frontline crews undergo before responding to emergencies.

As both a former patient and the charity's patron, the Duchess has consistently championed the organisation's mission to provide the best possible chance of survival and recovery for patients across the Thames Valley region.
