— The Prince and Princess of Wales (@KensingtonRoyal) February 24, 2019In the evening, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended a Reception hosted by at the British Ambassador Thomas Reilly (who is wining at social media during this trip) at the Ambassador’s Residence in Rabat, where they met guests across different sectors of Moroccan society and the Duke gave a speech.
I really like the Duchess’ sartorial choices for this trip. The red dress with the embroidered capelete is very attractive and so is the beige one with the embellished sleeve hems. I can’t tell which earrings she’s wearing for the dinner, but they look substantial and appropriate for the event. She was dressed very comfortably but elegantly for her trip to the school. And I was so glad to see Prince Harry wear a suit in another color than blue! His light gray suit was perfect for the climate!
The red dress and the beige Dior gown are one of my favourite pieces she has ever worn. The earrings are her Birks diamond earrings, which she has worn to quite a few gala events recently! Part of the reason I love Royals going to warmer countries is that they break out the different coloured suits and the quite uniforms, which look quite dashing!
