From lending unwavering support to Kate Middleton to channeling Princess Diana in a powerful interview, Duchess Sophie is a force to be reckoned with in the British royal family. Although she’s posed for somber photos in the past, I’ve never seen the Duchess of Edinburgh, 59, quite like this.

Today, Duchess Sophie attended the annual Armistice Day service at the Armed Forces Memorial. After the service, the royal paid tribute to fallen military members by admiring the memorial, which is dedicated to the British Armed Forces servicemen and women who have sacrificed their lives in combat.
Photographers captured haunting photos of Duchess Sophie with a somber expression.

Duchess Sophie showed respect by wearing an all-black outfit. Of course, she accessorized with red poppy brooches to commemorate military members who have died in war. (The symbolic flowers are a tradition for the royal family in honor of Remembrance Day.)

She even took a moment of silence while reading the names on the wall.

On Sunday, Duchess Sophie was photographed next to Kate Middleton after the National Service of Remembrance. The duchess appeared to comfort the Princess of Wales throughout the festivities. In nearly every photo, Sophie was standing at Princess Catherine’s side and lending support on what was a potentially stressful return to the spotlight.
Well done all around, Duchess Sophie.
