The Duchess of Edinburgh came face to face with knitted versions of herself and her husband during an appearance at the Royal Windsor Flower Show today, where she also met Dame Mary Berry and veteran gardener Alan Titchmarsh.

Sophie, 59, donned a black and green midi dress with a white floral design during her appearance at the event.

The royal, who was photographed smiling as she walked through the show, paired her dress with light gray wedge-heeled espadrilles.

Her blonde locks were pulled back into a sleek, low bun, and she opted for a natural makeup look to complete her ensemble.

Her appearance today followed her attendance at D-Day commemorations with her husband, Prince Edward, in Alrewas, Staffordshire, on Thursday.

During the emotional event, Edward, the Duke of Edinburgh, was seen wiping away tears as he listened to veterans talk about their experiences.

Among them was Alfred Booker, 97, who was 16 when he participated in the landing of troops on Sword Beach, according to the BBC.

The veteran recalled that at first what he remembered most was the smoke, that of his battleship bombing the German defenses.

“I can still see those young men being murdered left and right,” he said.

‘Of course, these guys, wherever these shells landed, if they were anywhere near them, they would tear them to pieces, so you didn’t see any men lying there. We had to stop them and we did it, we helped stop them.”

The royal couple met veterans before the Royal British Legion memorial service at the National Memorial Arboretum to mark the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings.

Sophie put on a warm display as she chatted with the veterans and extended her arm around one during what appeared to be a heartfelt conversation.

Thursday’s event aimed to honor veterans for their service during the D-Day landings 80 years ago.
