The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh arrived in Nepal yesterday, kicking off their six-day visit to celebrate the country's ties with the U.K. Since this is their first official trip to the region, all eyes are on Edward and Sophie as they embark on a packed itinerary, from visiting local villages to meeting with various organizations. Naturally, the trip has already produced plenty of memorable moments—including a striking black-and-white snapshot of Duchess Sophie.
The photo, taken at the Dwarika’s Hotel in Kathmandu, captures Duchess Sophie after a meeting with prominent women’s rights activists. Dressed in a floral dress, she tilts her head slightly and smiles for the camera, her hair pulled back in a soft, effortless style. With her hands gently crossed in front of her, she exudes a quiet elegance—looking every bit the royal she is.
