The mother of two also wore a rule-breaking raspberry-toned manicure to match her rosy lip shade and wore her sandy locks down.

Topping off her look was a beaded necklace and a trefoil brooch to represent her role as patron of Girlguiding which she took on earlier this week.

The role is also special to the royal as her daughter Lady Louise Windsor was herself a Brownie.
