| On March 10, 2020, The Earl and Countess of Wessex visited Foulness and Mersea Islands in Essex. Their first stop was the Heritage Centre at Foulness Island, Churchend. The Earl and Countess then travel to West Mersea where they visited The Company Shed and West Mersea Yacht Club. The couple also visited a local community centre in Mersea Island. (Happy birthday to The Earl of Wessex, who celebrates his 56th birthday today). The Countess wore a grey wool long coat by Suzannah. |

She looks fabulous. Not only is the outfit great for the occasion but, her hair and makeup is right on target. They both look at ease and happy.

DeleteI agree. They both look as though they enjoy what they are doing.
What a lovely English Royal couple. They look simply elegant and relaxed. Love Sophie s coat as well as her soft makeup .
ReplyDeleteI very much like the soft color palette of Sophie’s outfit, but the trousers do not flatter her, imo.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Prince Edward looks very, very spiffy here. Fabulous jacket, tie and shirt combo, demonstrating real sartorial flair!
ReplyDeleteSo nice to see something else than a blue suit!
DeleteNice coat. Some of the pic's of them are very nice.They seem to enjoy them selfs on this event.
ReplyDeleteQuel sympathique couple.. Joli manteau chez Sophie.. Edward a l'air de beaucoup aimer sa veste avec une jolie pochette assortie ; par contre, la cravate ?! Bon et joyeux anniversaire à lui !
ReplyDeleteEdward wore a similar suit jacket when his daughter was born, wonder if it is the same one, or maybe he likes this pattern. I am not a fan of the jacket pattern, or the mixted pattern shirt, nor the completely different patterned tie. However, he has a nice smile, as does Sophie. Her pants were not the best for her figure, but then they fit the occasion.... JT
ReplyDeleteHurray for this couple!
ReplyDeleteSophie Wessex macht ihre Sache gut , sie ist unentbehrlich
ReplyDeleteLovely coat, not great pants. The hair looks like what anyone would wear to go to the store. Now, Edward has a bunch of different prints going on... he looks a little like an elderly happy grandpa.
ReplyDeleteSo they're stepping in to fill the Harry/Meg void. Good! I love Sophie, and Edward is quite spiffy and probably a lot of fun out of the spotlight. Lovely clothing, lovely couple.
ReplyDeleteLove the soft colours on C. Sophie. I think the coat is designed to be worn buttoned up. Worn open like this it sags and loses its shape. Edward looks like a typical country gentleman to me. It’s nice to see them working together. (V.M.)
ReplyDeleteHow refreshing to see a royal couple that supports the UK and keeps a low profile. They truly love each other
ReplyDeleteYes, well said. I totally agree.

Beautiful coat. I admire and respect both of them. Their ability to quietly get on with the job, with minimum of fuss and bother.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy seeing Sophie on her engagements, she always seems so lovely interacting with everyone. Plus, Edward seems to be having a good time too. The look like a great couple.

Great coat, at least one size too small. Probably two sized. Terrible pairing with pants. Lovely couple, indeed. Let’s not forget the squeaky start though. Terrible mistake with Edward’s TV show. He learned and did better. But the begging was far from appropriate for them too. Tanya
ReplyDeleteShe seems to be doing a much better work for the Queen than Meghan ever did. She always looks very pleasant.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely couple. Love Sophie's outfit - a very "safe" choice. Edward reminds me so much of a typical English gentleman.....
ReplyDeleteCe manteau d’un vilain beige aurait été plus élégant avec un pull et un pantalon marron,tout simplement.
ReplyDeleteThe colouring of Sophia's outfit is nice, otherwise the pieces don't fit together. This is an unflattering attire. Just like Edwards, mostly nice parts but not a good combo. -Siri
ReplyDeletePerhaps they will take on more duties now? I'd like to see more of them working together. Elle
ReplyDeleteThey already have a lot of duties separately, and he is taking on his retired father's patronages since he will eventually become the next Duke of Edinburgh.

Hmmm. Not thrilled by how tight the coat is on her. Probably two sizes, as mentioned above. Also I think it would have been significantly better with boots (and she quite a few beautiful pairs). I would have preferred that.
ReplyDeleteNot sure why we constantly need to compare. No two people (never mind two couples) are the same. In fact we should celebrate differences. Not be so overly concerned with them. Chrissy
