The Duke of Kent and The Countess of Wessex visited Brookwood Military Cemetery in Surrey. The Duke of Kent and The Countess of Wessex both laid wreaths at the Stone of Remembrance to pay tribute to all Commonwealth service personnel who lost their lives both in the UK and overseas. The Duke of Kent and The Countess of Wessex also toured the cemetery and met with staff and volunteers.
The Duke of Kent is President of the Commonwealth War Graves. The Countess of Wessex is Patron of the Java Far East Prisoners of War Club, and this was her first visit to Brookwood Military Cemetery.
Nice to see the two of them carrying out this engagement together. Countess Sophie smart as usual but would prefer both skirt and blouse to be shorter.
ReplyDeleteI agree!
DeleteTrès estival, cette jupe plissée et longue tunique blanche, c'est parfait pour Sophie surtout avec les espadrilles compensées ; par contre, ses cheveux auraient mérité un peu de soins dans leur coiffage ; simple et délicat son petit sautoir !
ReplyDeleteSophie looks lovely & relaxed. She is natural looking. The outfit looks summary &crisp. Mary I
ReplyDeleteIt is very long ago that we saw the Duke of Kent, or the Duchess of Kent for that matter. And can we see more of the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, please admin.
ReplyDeleteThe Duke and Duchess of Gloucester are very "low key" in the fashion arena.
DeleteMaybe you could see more of them on another "Royal" site that is not devoted to fashion.
Not to a good TOP .... especially, when people see you bend over. I like the white color but would have chosen a different style, perhaps a summer white dress, and shorter.
ReplyDeletedeadeggs, many thanks for your kind suggestion. I will certainly do so!
ReplyDeleteSophie looks great and I like white or off white as she wore on at Wimbledon on her. There are just a few things where I'm a bit nitpick-y: (1) the shoes... I do like wedges but I find these are a bit casual for the occasion, perhaps something with a more solid heal (instead of the bast fibre) and without the sandal strap may have been better; (2) I wish this was a low waisted dress and not a two piece – both the top and the skirt are really lovely but I still think that had it been combined in one piece, this may have looked better – a style reminiscent of tennis dresses for women in the 1920s and (3) it's a pet peeve but I'm not fond of people wearing sunglasses as if they were headbands. Now this must have sounded overly critical but I assure you I actually really liked Sophie's overall look. It's just a few little things I personally would improve but that's just me of course. –– S.
