Earlier this month, Kate Middleton made history when she was given the title of Royal Companion of the Order of the Companions of Honour by her father-in-law, King Charles, making her the first-ever Royal Companion named to this position. And now, it seems another member of the British royal family has had her own historic moment.
On April 29, the royal family shared an array of photos of Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, visiting Ukraine on their official Instagram page. In the caption, it was revealed that the 59-year-old duchess was the first member of the British royal family to visit Ukraine following the Russian invasion on February 24, 2022.
The first slide shows the royal mom of two standing beside the First Lady of Ukraine, Olena Zelenska, in the Saint Sophia Cathedral in Kyiv. For the occasion, the Duchess of Edinburgh rocked a gorgeous floral dress with white flats that featured a shiny gold buckle on the front.
