The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh ate a selection of feasts today while attending a Big Lunch event in Cranleigh, Surrey.
Rewinding from yesterday’s coronation celebrations, Sophie, 58, was stunned in a printed midi dress by Etro that matched the spell of clear weather as she greeted royal fans.
She accessorized her look with a delicate pair of blue earrings and a summer straw handbag with brown high wedges.
The 59-year-old Duke of Edinburgh was photographed digging into a plate of coronation chicken pie with his wife, as well-wishers met them with rows of Union Jack flags. Although it is the dish of the moment, there was no coronation quiche on offer.
The pair went to Cranleigh Village Hall where they visited the Coronation Craft Market, before heading to a high street fair.

As well as meeting residents, the Duke and Duchess joined representatives of the Royal British Legion, the Scouts and the Guides – of which Her Royal Highness is chairman.
Their visit to the Big Lunch comes after the Duke and Duchess made a regal appearance at the coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla yesterday.
They were joined at Westminster Abbey with their two children, Lady Louise and James, Earl of Wessex, for the historic first coronation of a British monarch in 70 years.
Sophie wore a regal white Suzannah couture dress with floor-length embroidery, a Jane Taylor headdress and a Royal Victorian Order cloak, while her husband wore a morning dress with a garter cloak over a black suit.
Meanwhile, Lady Louise, 19, who is a university student at St Andrew’s, stole the show in a flowing white and blue floral dress and chic headpiece.
James, Earl of Wessex, 15, who rarely appears in public, also looked good in a black suit paired with a white shirt and burgundy tie.

After the ceremony, the family appeared on the balcony of Buckingham Palace with a select group of senior royals as The Mall was flooded by tens of thousands of cheering supporters.
Lady Louise and James stood beside their royal parents as they waved to huge crowds for an RAF flypast, which had to be reduced to just helicopters and the Red Arrows due to heavy rains in London.
In the past two years, Lady Louise has taken on an increasingly public role as her parents, Prince Edward and Sophie, have entered the royal food chain following Prince Andrew’s disgrace and the departure of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
She took center stage at the Platinum Jubilee celebrations, accompanied her parents to the Commonwealth Games and made her successful TV debut in a documentary about her beloved grandfather, the Duke of Edinburgh.
Prior to the coronation, the family came out for a royal get-together in a private members’ club the night before the big event.
Lady Louise raided her mother’s wardrobe and chose a Mary Katrantzou lace cocktail dress, which her mother wore earlier in 2015, for the gathering at Oswald’s in Mayfair.
The Duchess, meanwhile, wore a vibrant £1,350 floral midi dress from Erdem, which she paired with a cream coat and matching strappy heels.

Oswald’s is the most exclusive of London’s private members’ clubs, with the Queen Consort and Boris Johnson and his wife Carrie among those who frequent the venue.
They were joined by other members of the royal family, including Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie and their husbands, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi and Jack Brooksbank.
Zara and Mike Tindall also took part in the festivities and were later spotted partying until 2am at the venue of private members The Arts Club.
Following the grandeur of the coronation ceremony, the grand coronation luncheons take place in what a palace spokesman has described as “a nationwide act of celebration and friendship.”
King Charles and Camilla, Queen Consort have officially chosen a coronation quiche with spinach, fava beans and tarragon as their designated dish for the Great Lunch.
The new coronation dish was developed in close collaboration with the King and Queen Consort by Buckingham Palace royal chef Mark Flanagan.
Quiche was chosen because it is considered a good dish to take to a street party and can be served hot or cold.
It also suits a wide variety of dietary needs and preferences and is considered “not too complicated to make or require expensive or hard-to-find ingredients.”
The public and organizers of a number of charities expressed their enthusiasm prior to the event.
Lucinda Spelman-Ives, from Wilstock, who raised more than £1 million to fund a community center, hopes the Big Lunch will ‘unite and bring everyone together to be a part of history, make great memories, laugh and meet a lot of people who have never met ‘before’.
“Everyone is bursting with pride after yesterday’s ceremony,” she told the PA news agency.
“This will be a very special memory for all of us.
“Long live the great lunches and long live the king.”
