The Telegraph:

The Countess of Wessex has spoken out in support of Muslim women who express their fashion sense while wearing traditional clothes like the burka.

The countess told Harper’s Bazaar magazine women from the Islamic world could be stylish and modest at the same time. In an interview by the women’s fashion magazine ahead of her 50th birthday on January 20, the countess said that under a burka there was probably a woman wearing “something really quite fashionable”.
