As a source told VF, the Duchess of Edinburgh, a new family favorite, "prefers to keep the attention on her causes and charities rather than on herself."

Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh posed for a new portrait for her 60th birthday, and photographer Christina Ebenezer is sharing an unseen picture.

It’s a milestone birthday for Duchess Sophie, who officially rang in the special day on January 20 with a little more pomp and circumstance than usual, courtesy of an official new portrait and plans for a major birthday celebration at their Berkshire home Bagshot Park.
