The patronage news from the Duchess of Edinburgh has confirmed her as Royal Patron of Visualise Scotland, an organisation supporting adults with visual impairment and complex disabilities.
Buckingham Palace marked the appointment with a new portrait of Sophie. The supplied material identifies royal photographer Millie Pilkington.
Visualise Scotland works across Edinburgh and the Lothians, providing support for adults living with visual impairment and additional disabilities.
The role aligns with Sophie’s longstanding advocacy around preventable blindness and disability awareness.
The supplied material also links the cause to her family experience through Lady Louise Windsor, who was born with esotropia and later underwent corrective surgery.
