Last month, Sophie showed her fashion credentials when she arrived in Ethiopia as part of her tour of Africa.

On her first appearance in the country, the Countess met the President of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia Sahle-Work Zewde at the Presidential Palace in Addis Ababa.

The mum of two looked quintessentially stylish in a white blazer paired with a pink patterned skirt as she chatted with Sahle-Work.

She had spent the last few days in Malawi, where she gave a speech in which she said how “proud” her late mother-in-law was the Queen of the Commonwealth.

During her last performance in Malawi, Sophie looked pensive as she visited a neonatal ward in a hospital to meet premature babies.

Staff gathered to greet the royal family as they roamed the wards of Kamuzu Hospital, stopping to say hello to small children who are patients and to talk to doctors about the facility.

She saw her join hands when she met young patients in the pediatric ward, and she also made a trip to the Kangaroo maternity ward to talk to expectant mothers.

Elsewhere, she told how her “dear mother-in-law” the late Queen was “so happy” for the people of Malawi that the country had eradicated the eye disease trachoma.

Sophie said in a World Sight Day speech in Malawi that the Queen knew the summer before she died that the Countess would soon return to the South African nation to celebrate her success in battling the condition, which can cause blindness. .

The Countess, Global Ambassador for the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB), said: “We are deeply indebted to Her Majesty for this incredible legacy and we say ‘zikomo’ (thank you).”

The Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee Trust Fund – on behalf of the Queen – focused on providing financial support to help fight preventable blindness in the Commonwealth, including Malawi.

Sophie traveled to Malawi five years ago as Deputy Patron of the Trust and said the Queen was “so moved” to hear of the work being carried out.

Malawi is the first country supported by the Trust to reach the milestone of trachoole elimination.
