Duchess of Gloucester dons £376 amber dress on golden anniversary with poignant brooch

Birgitte wore interesting earrings with a navy and silver jewel on the earlobe, with gold balls dropping below them.

The Duchess’ makeup consisted of pink lipstick, and she wore her usual short hairstyle.

Her footwear is hard to distinguish in the picture, but she appears to be wearing plain beige pumps.

Prince Richard wore a light blue shirt, paired with navy trousers and smart black shoes.

This photograph was taken earlier this week, in the garden of the Duke and Duchess’s home at Kensington Palace, London.
