why exactly does Felipe go to 'capture of possessions?' is it just a matter of good will?

It seems they were all wearing a type of shirt like the guayaberas, and Felipe was not. Maybe they did not have his size. I bet he felt a little out of place...

guayaberas can be considered as appropiate as a suit in central america. Specially in the hot days, a suit would be unbearable.
The prince is not the only one wearin a tie, some other people behind him are wearin them too. I suppose it was not that hot for him to still be comfortable in a suit
