On April 26, 2021, on the fifth day of their Caribbean tour, The Earl and Countess of Wessex attented the Duke of Edinburgh awards ceremony held at the Prime Minister's residence in Castries, Saint Lucia. The Earl and Countess met with commonwealth military veterans, the Red Cross and St John's Ambulance personnel at the high commisioner's residence, before travelling to the governor general's residence for a Duke of Edinburgh award event.
On April 26, 2022, The Earl and Countess of Wessex visited the National Sailing Academy in Saint Paul, where they met children who have benefitted from a programme which offers people with disabilities the opportunity to get involved with water activities. The Caribbean tour forms part of Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
Great, femine dress while visiting the sailing academy; the CoW looks fantastic in it. I like the espadrilles (and later the high heels) combined with it. This is the first outfit during this trip of which I like the CoW shoe choice. Not too keen on the ME+EM dress, as I feel it requires a different figure.

What's the point in calling her a CoW?
DeleteWhat is the point in calling her a CoW?
DeleteCoW looks a bit odd, but it's shorter than typing out Countess of Wessex. For our banter here, I think it's fine.

Love her blue suede shoes, before she changed into her sensible ones to walk around on the grass. Also love her silver wedges, a fun shoe.
ReplyDeleteWell, not a fan of this dress, actually, but I like Sophie's wedges.and her sweet smile, of course.
ReplyDeleteYes, she is good looking and has nice smile.

As I looked through the photos, I started to get the impression that the style is based on a maternity dress.
DeleteI'm referring to the ME+EM dress not the blue dress.

Mai piaciuti scarpe e sandali che lasciano scoperti i talloni, come anche questo vestito non mi entusiasma.
ReplyDeleteMa nessun gala con qualche bell'abito da sera?
Sophie and Edward look lovely.Sophie's choice of dresses and shoes are just right.I wish they woud come to South Australia;I remember quite a few years ago,Prince Edward came to Adelaide for The Duke of Edinburgh awards;so many people came out to see him;he is certainly popular here.

ReplyDeleteWonderful. The Countess of Wessex is a very special lady. A genuine, sincere, warm smile. A lovely, feminine figure. No studied performance or look. No skeletal perfectionism. Virginia 🌞
All of Sophie's beautiful floral, print midi dresses 💐seem to have been purchased for the visit to the Caribbean. The style is pretty similar. //ML
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the exact same thing when I saw this outfit - all her dresses look the same. Nothing wrong with that to be honest, other than the monotony of style but there is so much more she could wear that is suitable both to the weather and her status of representation.
DeleteI was hoping that she might have jazzed the look slightly by accessorizing, say with something on her head like a band, or a small hat or fascinator especially when she attended church services, and where a head adornment would have been perfectly acceptable and appropriate especially in the Caribbean, but so far that has not happened. However these dresses fit her quite well which is an important thing.

Wonderful photos! Brava, Countess, brava!
ReplyDeleteSophie's ensemble with the ME&EM dress, silver wedges, and aqua earrings is smashing from top to bottom. One of her best looks ever.
I'd love to know the story behind the "model pose" photo, looks like a fun moment.

The dresses have mostly had the common theme of v-neck, short puffy sleeves, or longer puffy sleeves in various combinations. He shoe choice has not been the best, from the shiny slides with heels to the clunky tied sandals. Her hair has been a total disappointment, always pulled back in a messy do in the back, with no rhyme or reason for it. I know the climate makes it difficult as it's hot, humid, windy, however, she should have taken a hairdresser with her. Over all she looks ok, but the 2nd to last photo 'pose' is not elegant or royal at all, makes her look like a silly girl. Not the woman she truly is.
ReplyDeleteOh for goodness sake - she's just having a bit of fun and joining in with the two women with her!
DeleteThe light blue "Soler" dress looks better with long sleeves. The grey wedges do not match well with the dress. Instead she could have worn a low heeled pair of sling back's or sandals. The blue suede shoes and handbag with the light blue flowers are a good choice. The flower dress by ME + EM is not bad but fits not so good as the Sussanah dresses she wore earlier. Beautiful golden sandals but I think they are not matching the dress.
ReplyDeleteSophie has been looking fresh and friendly during the whole trip and her smile is so sweet. I must admire Prince Edward for always wearing a complete suit during this tour. It must have been very hot.
Really rather dislike the green dress, and the wedge mules are far too casual. Prefer the blue dress, with both pairs of shoes. Disappointed to say that whilst shes looked relaxed and beautiful, ive been a little underwhelmed with this trips wardrobe - seemed too casual overall (more holiday wear), including the hair. Zed.
ReplyDeleteEn prévision de sa tournée caribéenne, Sophie a su bien choisir des robes idéales pour le climat ; j'aimerais bien connaître les pierres qui composent les boucles d'oreilles et le médaillon qu'elle porte avec la robe fleurie verte sur fond blanc ?!
ReplyDeleteThe Me + Em dress is another great choice, fresh and elegant. The blue dress is okay but spoiled by the chunky sandals which don't go well with it at all Love the pic of the three ladies posing.
ReplyDeleteWell, I think that the selection of understated cool maxi or normal length dresses from the Countess makes a sense in this trip.
ReplyDeleteIt has been a bit hard schedule and she may have thought it more appropriate not to show off and keep a low profile.
I know it is not easy to cope with the warm or even hot and humid climate in the Caribbean so her thin and sometimes unkempt hair is no surprise to me.
The green dress, v-neck, detailing around the upper waist area, same style as she has been wearing all through the tour. Makes her look like something from the 1970's. The blue dress, different neckline, but not very pretty and sophomoric pose with the other two women looked terrible. Hair was pulled back in a messy low centered bun, again, not something I would have done, especially on a public tour. Pulled into a low or mid pony tail with a stylist clasp or ribbon would have looked more professional. Annie
