The Duchess of Edinburgh requested a custom design of a £725 dress for Trooping the Colour after rejecting the pink version.

Sophie, 60, dazzled in a green dress from Beulah London; however, it turns out the garment is a bespoke piece from the designer brand.


The "Francine" dress from Beulah London is only sold in the colour "hot pink", and retails for a whopping £725.

Its description says: "Meet the Francine - a chic, modern dress that is sure to make a statement in a hot pink shade.

"Crafted from elegant wool crepe, this style features an elegant V neckline, charming puff sleeves and is fully lined.

"Ideal for mastering a summer of events the bold pink shade adds a playful touch to a sophisticated and timeless silhouette."

Sophie donned a bespoke green version of the dress to attend the King's Birthday Parade today, which she commissioned from the designer.

Beulah London confirmed this fact by taking to Instagram with a statement: "Duchess of Edinburgh wears a bespoke Francine dress in emerald green. #troopingofthecolour".
