Buckingham Palace has shared a new video of the Duchess Sophie, who made a surprise cameo at The Borchester Show on Thursday, July 9th.
BBC reported that the Duchess of Edinburgh as made a surprise cameo appearance on The Archers, who has been a fan of the long-running BBC Radio 4 show for many years.
However, the video released in July was initially recorded when Her Royal Highness made an appearance while her segment t at the BBC in Birmingham in May.
In the now viral footage, Sophie was pictured smiling as she stood in front of her script and microphone under the bright studio lights.
The episode - in the drama's 75th anniversary year - aired at 19:00 BST, and revealed Sophie as a surprise guest at the fictional Borchester Show, in her real-life role as honorary president of charity Linking Environment And Farming (LEAF).
"Last night Ambridge welcomed a very special visitor to The Borchester Show, no other than Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Edinburgh. Take a look at The Duchess in rehearsal with the cast as she makes her Archers debut," the official Instagram page of BBC Radio stated.
