At one point, Hunter held two prestigious royal warrants—one from Prince Philip and one from Queen Elizabeth—and Princess Diana, King Charles, Queen Camilla, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have all worn their sturdy, waterproof styles.

While we’re just about at the halfway mark of the season, that doesn’t mean the tropical manicures should be winding down.

We were then bidden to the Tangier American Legation Museum that night, and rather wonderful it is, right in the medina. Once a slightly shabby place—although amazing for its scale, considering how nondescript it is from the lane outside—it has had new life breathed into it by interior designer Frank de Biasi and designer Gene Meyer, with an intelligent hang of the art and brilliant colors (for instance, melon walls with an eau de nil skirting board, finished with a brown stripe). I was intrigued by the exhibition “Dissatisfied with the Ordinary: The Legendary Theater Program of the American School…
