Duchess Sophie receives a special homage as Kate prepares for Carol Concert.

 

Duchess Sophie fulfilled an important royal obligation ahead of Princess Kate's Christmas Carol Concert.

The Duchess of York was seen during the opening ceremony of a college called 'The Edinburgh Building.'

Sophie, dressed entirely in brown, drew the attention of passersby with her elegant appearance.

According to a statement posted on the official Instagram page of the David Lewis Centre, Prince Edward's wife met with college authorities and students.

The note that goes along with Sophie's lovely images reads, "It was a special day today as we welcomed our Patron HRH The Duchess of Edinburgh to our beautiful site in Warford where Her Royal Highness officially opened a new space for our successful College that is now named 'The Edinburgh Building.'"

"During her visit, Her Royal Highness met with some of our fantastic students and staff from our specialty College, as well as representatives from partner groups and donors. "We were thrilled to welcome the Duchess back to David Lewis in our 120th year!"

It is worth noting that Duchess Sophie's latest public appearance occurred with Princess Kate's preparation for her annual Christmas Carol Concert.

The major celebration will take place on December 6 at Westminister Abbey, with prominent royal figures expected to arrive to support Catherine, who just completed chemotherapy.
