She was accompanied to her waiting car as she left her rented townhouse by a male assistant who shielded her from the rain with an umbrella.




She carried a large tote and chose not to wear a coat.
Her brows were heavily penciled in and arched and her lip color matched her dress.

Amal recently gave a rare insight into life with her A-Lister husband to Vogue - revealing how they first got together and discussing life as a mother of twins.   
She explained she had first met George, 56, at a party at his house on Lake Como, Italy, and the pair began to exchange emails soon after.   
Amal admitted she already 'really liked him' before their first date at a top London restaurant - which came when she was close to giving up on the idea of love and motherhood. 
She said: 'I was 35 when I met him. It wasn’t obvious that it was going to happen for me. And I wasn’t willing or excited about the idea of getting married or having a family in the absence of that.' 
The pair went on to tie the knot in 2014.

Jet setters: : George and Amal tied the knot in 2014, and divide their time between Los Angeles, New York, London and Lake Como in Italy

Oooh, I really do love that!

So this is what she was actually doing...........

.......and that's why she's happy to be photographed outside her home. Soft power. She knows it's another form of pressure on the Myanmar authorities

I  wonder what the meeting with Nikki Haley means for the case. Is the US working behind the scenes to get these reporters released? It would be ironic if we are, since our president would like nothing better than to lock up all members of the press (except Fox reporters,  of course).

Yep Lizzy.  Wouldn’t be the first time Trump’s words contradict his actions.  But who knows.  Maybe Amal is making the rounds within the UN to garner support from other countries.  It was stunning that yesterday Trump pulled the plug on new sanctions against Russia right after Nicki Haley made an announcement over the weekend that the U.S. was applying even more stringent sanctions.  He just pulled the rug right out from her.  It’s not the first time.

I think that is exactly what Amal's doing possibly in the hope of some protocol by the UN along the lines of freedom of the press. We may well see other appointments with UN ambassadors to get more backing.

Sorry, Katie. Think I probably should have started another thread based on the facts!

No worries. I can go and change the title of the thread.
