On Thursday, Prince William stepped out in Cornwall for the Royal Cornwall Show, looking every bit the modern royal in a grey check blazer, navy trousers and his signature charming grin. But while his solo style moment was worthy of a headline on its own, it was his date for the day that sparked a double-take: not Princess Kate, but his aunt, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh.

The pair were all smiles as they walked the fairgrounds together, representing the Firm at the annual agricultural showcase. The duchess—who’s known for her fashion game—seemed right at home beside William, laughing with locals and sipping Cornish gin in the Food & Farming Pavilion.

To that end, Duchess Sophie’s look was a quiet countryside slay: a repeat Vince silk blouse in blush pink, paired with a luxe toffee suede skirt by Paige and knee-high leather boots. Her green velvet handbag (by Sophie Habsburg) and gold Giulabarella hoops added just the right touch of polish to the earthy palette.

With Kate still on a limited public schedule, Sophie’s presence feels increasingly significant—and judging by the ease between her and the Prince of Wales, the royal family might just have another power duo in the making.
