On Thursday, the Duchess of Edinburgh visited the Guide Dogs’s Reading Hub as Patron of Guide Dogs. She attended their Buddy Dog Day event to learn more about the charity’s work with children to develop their independent living skills through the support and companionship of their buddy dogs.

The Duchess of Edinburgh spent time with children to hear more about their experiences with buddy dogs and joined them in Halloween-themed dog treat-making session.

The Duchess of Edinburgh wore a repeated black blazer with her Valentino skirt, her Aquazzura boots, and her Lulu Guinness clutch. She also wore her Cassandra Goad necklace and a Marks & Spencer poppy brooch.
