The Earl and Countess of Wessex were given the royal treatment as they touched down at Argyle International Airport. Sophie dazzled in a floral flock while Edward looked smart in a double breasted grey suit.
Sophie and Edward on Friday began their seven-day tour of the Caribbean where they are also scheduled to visit two other nations, Antigua and Barbuda and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, after the 11th hour postponement of the Grenada leg of their trip.

A young Sophie was a Brownie herself and became the president of Girlguiding UK in 2003. The Countess took over following the death of Princess Margaret in February 2002.
