Duchess of Edinburgh stops traffic at iconic British landmark wearing scarlet dress

The Duchess of Edinburgh stopped traffic at an iconic British landmark wearing a scarlet dress.

Sophie stepped out on Abbey Road on Wednesday to pose on a zebra crossing made famous by the Beatles.


The duchess looked stunning in a £750 Beulah maxi dress with a side split and flared wrists.

The mother-of-two paired the outfit with nude heels by Prada and a brown leather clutch and wore her hair in an elegant up do.

She accessorised her outfit with statement gold earrings which framed the duchess’ face and a sweet necklace with the letter ‘S’.

The wife of Prince Edward arrived at the venue for an Orbis Visionaries Reception at Abbey Road Studios in London.

As the duchess recreated the iconic photo featured on the Fab Four’s album, a police bike is seen in the background stopping traffic for Sophie to pass.

The 59-year-old is the Global Ambassador for the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness.

This is a cause close to the duchess’ heart as her daughter, Lady Louise Windsor, was born with esotropia – a condition that requires corrective surgery.

In 2023, the duchess also joined the first Orbis Visionaries reception at the Gherkin in central London.

Orbis aims to transform lives through the prevention and treatment of blindness.

It comes as Sophie’s husband, Prince Edward, led Thursday’s Anzac Day Dawn service at 5 am.
