The Prince of Wales wore a gray pinstriped suit with a blue and red striped tie. The Duchess of Cornwall wore a beige salwar kameez and her everyday pearl earrings. In the evening, the Prince wore a navy suit with a striped tie. The Duchess wore a cream salwar kameez and her Van Cleef & Arpels Magic Alhambra earrings.
I’m really liking these tunics the Duchess is wearing on this trip. They look extremely comfortable yet very elegant.
I usually like the Duchess’ tour style and tunics, but I have to say that the pale blue/turquoise tunics are getting a bit repetitive! I’d like to see some variety!
