The Duchess of Edinburgh is undertaking a three-day official visit to Bangladesh at the request of the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO). On the second day of her visit, the Duchess visited a UNICEF-supported Rohingya Learning Centre in Cox's Bazar, a town on the southeastern coast of Bangladesh.

She saw the rehabilitation, protection and inclusion services available to women and children with disabilities. She also heard about vital support services for women and girls affected by displacement.

  1. Well done, Duchess Sophie. Nice skirt and blouse combo. I’m avoiding looking at the feet in case the footwear wrecks the look, as so often happens.

  3. This outfit looks good and works well on this visit. The skirt and shirt work in well, as does the use of the scarf. She looks focused and engaging in this visit. She does such wonderful work, the learning centre especially, marvelous for the children. The support services, this is brilliant. Much needed and great the Duchess was able to visit and see the infrastructure.

  4. Why are you writing about a duchess, she is not royal! /Iman Al-Yassin

    1. I do not how it is in your country but in mine (I am not British) when a lady marries a prince, automatically she receives a noble title. Since her husband is Prince Edward of the U.K. and he also, after the dead of his father, received the title of Duke of Edinburgh, his wife automatically became the Duchess of Edinburgh.

    2. The Duchess of Edinburgh is a so called working royal. Meaning, that she does visits and such either on behalf of the King, or upon his request, or upon the request of the British Government, or as a patron of some charitable organisations often connected to the British Royal Family. She may not be born royal (so, no blood royal), but she is taking on engagements for the British Crown. What exactly is your issue, Iman Al-Yassin, if I may ask?

    3. She is titled "Her Royal Highness, the Duchess of Edinburgh", so she definitely is royal.

  5. I would love to sit quietly with Sophie and listen to her. She’s working in so many interesting spheres, often heartbreaking topics. When I’ve heard her speeches, she seems so well informed but also there with her full heart. And I like this easy outfit.

  6. Huge puff sleeves, a belt not made for the rest of this outfit, a scarf without any kind of colour connection to the rest, the shoes ... yes she likes them, if this is a sufficient argument for how they look. As I wrote earlier: she has excellent human qualities and she looks excellent - but she chooses her outfits - and how she puts the components together - in a very poor way. It does not lessen any of her other qualities, it is just not a really enjoyable taste.

  8. The fabric of the skirt has a beautiful print that looks great with the white blouse. It looks like the shawl brings out the yellow in the skirt.

    1. Dear @12:50, there is no yellow in that skirt. Blue and white and pink: https://lexylondon.com/products/tatjana-blue-batik . - She could be a real asset, if only she would unite her fabulous inner qualities with her outer appearance. Because yes, it counts how you look, your appearance helps carry the message you deliver.

    2. Pardon me! I think I need new glasses.
