The Duchess of Edinburgh has been pictured enjoying a tipple at the Windsor horse trials on Thursday, May 2.

Looking stunning in an olive green blazer, the 59-year-old appeared to match her outfit to her husband Prince Edward, who was opted for a green jacket.

Sophie looked stylish in a khaki blazer and leather skirt. Completing her look, she paired them with a white blouse and burgundy leather boots.

Keeping to her natural make-up look, Sophie pulled her blonde locks back into a ponytail with a colourful satin scarf.

The royal, who also attended the previous day's event, looked in high spirits as she met stall holders during day two of the Royal Windsor Horse Show. Sophie's appearance comes just two days after she returned from a visit to Ukraine.

Sophie, who officially married into the Royal Family in 1999, accessorised with a khaki leather handbag and a pair of gold earrings.

She also donned a metal Royal Windsor Horse Show Club membership badge, which allows access to the club enclosure during her appearance at the event.

The Duchess appears to follow in her late mother-in-law's footsteps at the event, which was often deemed a highlight in Elizabeth II's diary.

The annual event, which attracts enthusiasts from around the world, sees many join together in their thousands on the grounds of Windsor Castle for international competitions in show jumping, dressage, driving and endurance.

Sophie also sported green at Wednesday's event. She dressed in a Me+Em navy dress - adorned with golden buttons paired with a green checkered blazer and a pair of Penelope Chilvers navy suede ankle boots.

Earlier this week, Sophie became the first royal to visit Ukraine since Russia's invasion.

Sophie met with President Zelensky and his wife and, as well as passing on a personal message from King Charles, showed her solitary with survivors of conflict-related sexual violence and torture during her emotional trip.

The royal travelled in her role as champion of the UK's Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict Initiative and the Women, Peace and Security agenda.

Speaking at a conference last month, ahead of her visit to Ukraine, Sophie said: "Survivors here and around the world have spoken out so bravely about their experience.

"They are the most powerful advocates who remind us all that we must not turn our backs on the horrors of this crime, we must never forget survivors. Rather, we must stand shoulder to shoulder with all survivors to secure justice and holistic redress, and ensure that this crime isn't an accepted part of conflict.

"'Their rights and their voices must be at the heart of all our efforts to consign conflict-related sexual violence to the history books."
