The Duchess of Edinburgh was absent from Wednesday night’s banquet at Guildhall, sparking questions from royal fans on social media.

The Duke of Edinburgh made a solo appearance at the formal dinner with Emperor Naruhito  as they continued their state visit in the UK.

Buckingham Palace previously shared in a press release that Sophie was scheduled to join her husband at the banquet, however HELLO! understands that this was an error and it was only due to be the Duke of Edinburgh at the event.

HELLO! understands that the Duchess had a prior commitment which would have made the practicalities of attending the Guildhall banquet difficult.

According to the Court Circular, Sophie attended the Corps of Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers’ Festival of Sport at The Prince Philip Barrack in Chippenham, Wiltshire in her role as Colonel-in-Chief.

It comes after the mother-of-two dazzled at the Buckingham Palace state banquet on Tuesday night, wearing an emerald green gown by Suzannah London with breathtaking jewels from the royal vaults.

For the first time, Sophie, 59, wore the Lotus Flower Tiara – a headpiece previously worn by the Princess of Wales and Princess Margaret.

The diamond floral-shaped jewels once belonged to the Queen Mother and was originally a necklace from Garrard.

And in another royal first, the Queen debuted King Charles’ Royal Family Order, a miniature portrait of the monarch traditionally worn by female members of the royal family with a silk ribbon.

Traditionally the orders were made from ivory, but in line with modern times and the King’s views on conservation, his royal family order is made from polymin – a synthetic translucent treated plastic sheet.
