The royal family Instagram account is getting ahead of the festivities and just shared Duchess Sophie's portrait before her birthday on Monday. However, there's one tiny detail that I almost missed—and it has nothing to do with her photos.

Ahead of Duchess Sophie's 60th birthday this month, Buckingham Palace have released a new series of stunning photos of her - and as well as her beautiful outfits, there was one other thing that stood out to royal fans.

Duchess Sophie is turning 60, but she’s not feeling it even a bit!The Duchess of Edinburgh is all set to ring in her milestone birthday on Monday, January 20, 2025, however, she is in no mood to tell the number loudly.

A new portrait of the Duchess of Edinburgh has been released to celebrate her 60th birthday. In the picture, taken by London-based fashion photographer Christina Ebenezer earlier this month, Sophie looks relaxed and happy as she perches in a window seat at her Surrey home.

Photographer Christina Ebenezer took the picture of the Duchess of Edinburgh, and perfectly captures the senior royal's effortless charm.
