It’s autumn and the royals are off on official visits. I might be crazy but it seems as if there are even more the usual, what with Harry and Meghan in South Africa, Sophie just back from Kenya, Guilliame and Stephanie popping off to Morocco, and my personal favorite, Princess Kako, charming everyone to the gills on her tour of Hungary and Austria. We’ll hit some high points here, starting with Kako because I am a sucker for charm.
The lovely peach kimono is my favorite of her ensembles, but that red and white fit and flare is giving me Jackie Kennedy on tour vibes, and it works for her.
Sophie, Countess of Wessex, spent a few days in Kenya last week and because it’s our Sophster, they were jam packed. She did a whirlwind of events that supported women’s issues, including the specific concerns of women in the military. Heaven at UFOnomore has tentatively identified her skirt as a Valentino midi. The dress is by Erdem, and you can see better photos at New My Royals.
It looks like Sophie wore a Valentino skirt today: https://t.co/GcVCpYqgwZ https://t.co/3MEL6Groc3 pic.twitter.com/QSqvpBEHgE

She visited the Women’s Empowerment Program. She danced!
The women and girls from @WeAreRefuSHE showcased their exquisite handmade products, from scarves to linen lunch bags, during a fashion show and performance.

Dancing seems to be the order of the day. Meghan also twirled with these lovely women during their visit to Nyanga Township. Meghan’s dress is by Mayamiko and she is sporting my favorite royal lady ponytail.
Stephanie and Guilliame on their first day during an economic working visit to Morocco. Stephanie is sporting eye-catching yellow.

It’s a touring kind of week. What do you think?
