The Duchess of Edinburgh struggled to hold back a few giggles as she was greeted by a half-naked student during a royal outing in London.

Sophie, 59, visited the London College of Fashion at their new East Bank campus in Stratford's Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park on Monday.


The students were sharing some of their creations to mark London Fashion Week.

One student, named Filip Gesse, shared his creations with Sophie while wearing a nude-coloured bodysuit.

The duchess, who has been stepping up to support the Royal Family in recent weeks, giggled as she greeted the fashion student.

Sophie became patron of the London College of Fashion in 2013, working with the institute on their Better Lives initiative in "reshaping the narrative of fashion".

The 59-year-old was seen chatting to other students and admiring some of their work.

The mother of two, who is married to Prince Edward, trialled some of the virtual try-on software.

For her outing, Sophie sported an Emilia Wickstead navy dress and tied her hair in a neat bun.

She paired the dress with some navy Manolo Blahnik heels and a light blue clutch bag from Sophie Habsburg.

Sharing some of the photographs from the day, the Royal Family's official website said: "Today, The Duchess of Edinburgh, as Patron of the London College of Fashion (LCF), visited their new home in East Bank.

"LCF is a recognised global leader in fashion education with its annual February postgraduate showcase known throughout the industry as a glimpse into the future of fashion.
