Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, on Wednesday marked her attendance at a recent exhibition at London’s Imperial War Museum.
Her visit to the exhibition titled “Unsilenced: Sexual Violence in Conflict” was documented in a recent Instagram post by the Royal Family.
The post included several images of Duchess Sophie exploring the exhibition, which featured personal testimonies, historical case studies, and artistic representations of the experiences of survivors and the systematic use of sexual violence as a weapon of war.
“Today, The Duchess of Edinburgh visited the new exhibition ‘Unsilenced: Sexual Violence in Conflict’ at the Imperial War Museum, London. ‘Unsilenced’ is the UK’s first major exhibition dedicated to highlighting this important and under-reported subject,” the palace wrote in the caption.
They continued, “Her Royal Highness has long-championed the @unitednations’ Women, Peace, and Security agenda and the UK’s Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict Initiative, working to elevate the voices of survivors, peacebuilders, and children born of wartime sexual violence. The Duchess’s international visits have included Kosovo, Sierra Leone, South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ukraine, and Chad.
“The free exhibition at IWM London runs until November 2025,” the Royal family added.
The Duchess of Edinburgh, who has been married to Prince Edward since 1999, looked somber throughout the event. She kept her makeup minimal for the occasion and dressed in a Gabriela Hearst Andy ensemble, featuring a pink-colored maxi dress paired with a golden clutch.
