On October 31, 2024, the Duchess of Edinburgh attended the Buddy Dogs Family Event at the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association's Training Centre in Reading. There were Buddy dogs at the event, which are service dogs used to assist individuals with mobility or visual impairments. Buddy dogs offer companionship for children whose lives are affected by sight loss and can help build their confidence and generally improve their wellbeing. The Duchess is a patron of the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association.

  1. It's a nice outfit but would look better with white camisole underneath the blazer.

  2. The top looks lovely. Good fit, style and design, especially the collar and neckline. Can't see the full skirt on her but I can probably guess...no surprises there, :)

  6. Sophie is wonderful in interacting with people, especially children, and animals. At the same time, she does it in such a way that she does not "steal" attention from events, from people.
    She is dressed appropriately for a visit to the Buddy doghs center. I like her jacket.

  7. Photo number 2 is marvellous. The dog seems to be speaking with its eyes, and Sophie right back at it! I don’t see the fashion when the faces are saying so much! - Grace

  10. Those dogs are really feeling the love with D. Sophie and I think those 2 labs would go home with her. So cute. Love doggies.

  11. I like everything about this. Sophie looks stunning here. I am not a fan of these hair wraps or whatever they are called, but do like her casual hairstyle here. I am not a fan of her usual too long skirts, but here I like it. The blazer looks well tailored and is not too long. Showing a little cleavage makes her look youthful. I like the two poppies on the blazer and on the clutch. There are better pictures out there that show the whole look. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-14025363/A-pawfect-day-Duchess-Edinburgh-cuddles-adorable-pooches-visits-Guide-Dogs-UK.html

    The skirt is too long (as usual). The jacket is too tight around the waist and a bit too short. She should wear her hair more loose. These updo's are boring.
    Lovely how she cuddles the dogs and makes the child smiling.

  15. Vraiment une charmante femme qui sait toujours faire preuve d'empathie à l'occasion d'évènements parmi les enfants et les animaux ; j'adore le regard du labrador de la troisième photo ; j'en suis toute émue !
