Duchess Sophie stepped out for a solo outing on Wednesday, rolling her sleeves up for a day at the farm.
Prince Edward's wife, 59, was seen recycling her super-structured navy wool coat from Bally. The garment featured a cinched waistline, thanks to a buckle-adorned tie belt, as well as buttoned epaulets to match the gold buttoned pockets.

Her makeup was kept minimal with just a wash of pale pink eyeshadow and a lick of mascara - not a lipstick or gloss in sight.
