The dramatic, high-contrast swirling bow trim sets this hat apart from all of Camilla’s other cream hats (and designs in the same shape!).

The Duke of Edinburgh affirmed his black silk top hat as the most highly polished one in the family. The Duchess repeated the pink sinamay saucer hat with overlay of pleated Italian organza she wore to Royal Ascot last year. The pleating on this piece is magnificent.

Princess Anne topped a new floral dress and royal blue jacket with a matching sinamay saucer hat trimmed with large crin bow and feathers. It looks like a ready-to-wear piece. While she wears this saturated blue well, I wish some of the colours in her lovely dress would have been incorporated into the trim on the hat.

The Duchess of Gloucester repeated her sky blue sinamay hat with wide pleated brim while the Duke wore his black top hat.
