Today is the the celebration of Flag Day in Denmark, a day that honors all those who were injured or lost in overseas military service. Prince Joachim and Princess Marie attended a remembrance ceremony at Kastellet (part of Copenhagen fortress) this afternoon. For the memorial, Prince Joachim wore military uniform while Princess Marie wore an black fasincator made of curled fabric petals. I believe this fascinator is new (it looks different than the one she wore back in April which I think, had some feathers) and I thought it looked very elegant on her, especially with her hair back in a chignon. What do you all think of this headpiece?

Royal Hats 
I don’t like a lot of fascinators (they look silly to me on the head of a dignified royal lady) but this one is quite elegant. It doesn’t have feathers flying off in all directions which helps a lot. I think the whole outfit works well.
Love the headband, but in my opinion she lacks royal allure in her looks, Just girl next door/girl behind teh counter.
I’m all about discussing the merits and quirks of each hat and how it looks on a particular royal with a particular royal outfit. That discussion is fun! What’s not so fun is when it is transferred to discussing how each person looks. That’s not discussion I want to welcome here on the blog. So let’s keep it to hats!
I’m curious- is there a hat style you think would add to Marie’s royal allure? Princess Mary has a fabulous black Susanne Juul hat she wears that seems most royal to me (see it here). What would you think if something like this on Princess Marie?
Beautiful lady who carries herself well and can wear this gorgeous hat….really like this hat on her!
The headpiece is very chic but not with a suit jacket. There is a disconnect here.
When you see the whole outfit together it looks great

So royal and gorgeous. She just needs a few diamonds and she could give any queen a run for her money. Fabulous.
The hat is elegant as mentioned above but I think we should also give credit to her hairdresser. That is good hat hair.
She looks SO good in this headband! I love it! Please let us know the designer when you find out.
I like the head piece but she looks like she’s going to a funeral…why so glum?
Oh – now I went back and did more then skim reading and see ‘their flag’ day is like Remembrance or Memorial Day…now I get the black.
Marie certainly has all the grace and style one wants from a beautiful princess, doesn’t she? This tasteful fascinator is just another example of how well she’s carrying out her role these days. She’s a lovely young woman!
I was going to say elegant, but others beat me to it. I will just say simply beautiful and graceful then.
Marie looks very regal. I really like this headpiece with the twisted bows.
I agree with everyone here. She really looks regal and elegant today. I like it when princesses wear hats that still let us see their faces.
This is one real pretty hat.
I think it looks very elegant on her. 🙂
Just lovely. Very elegant.
