Catching up with the Countess of Wessex & Other News

Last night, the Countess of Wessex attended an event with blindness prevention charity , UK Orbis to launch a £100,000 appeal to deliver 17,000 operations to adults and children across Ethiopia, Nepal and Bangladesh.

HRH has long worked with organisations with preventing blindness in mind and the Countess has travelled to many countries to support the honourable work.

Next week, the Countess will speak about menopause. A topic she has spoken on before and something that needs more spotlight on.

Yesterday, the Duke of Gloucester officially opened The Hold, a new archives and heritage centre on Ipswich's waterfront. HRH was given a tour of the new building which was created in partnership with the University of Suffolk and Suffolk City Council.

The Hold is home to more than nine centuries of history, safely preserved by Suffolk Archives.

HRH also visited the university where he viewed an exhibition curated by the University's Architecture students.

While in Suffolk, the Duke also opened the Sutton Hoo's viewing tower which will give views from the extraordinary Anglo-Saxon royal burial site.

The Duchess's Wardrobe: The Duchess of Cambridge wore a new jacket in neutral. It was the Reiss 'Larsson' double-breasted Twill blazer. A new bag was also in the cards for today as the Duchess wore Tusting Mini Holly Bag in Taupe. The Duke of Cambridge was seen out and about today at the London Eye. With his Earthshot prize announcing their first winners on Friday - I imagine it's about that.

Duke and Duchess of Rothesay out and about

The couple first unveiled a plaque to commemorate the opening of the Ballater Community and Heritage Hub. During this visit, the couple toured the art exhibition which takes place in the Heritage Hub. Afterwards, the couple visited local shops and businesses during a short walk through the village in Ballater, Scotland. Fashion Thoughts: I'm in love with the Duchess's outfit. The tartan and colour are just so nice even thought I could do without the colour of the shoes but it doesn't ruin it for me.
