Well, dear readers, when I introduced our plan to celebrate royal birthdays this year, I did not expect you to respond with such gusto! Over 100 hats were suggested for the Duchess of Cambridge on her birthday this week. Amazing! Several of you let me know how cumbersome it was to go through all the comments to link to the photos. I apologize that you are not able to post direct photos, but I have brought up images from your links for each comment. I am working to move this blog off of wordpress next month (we’ve grown too big!) and the new blog will have better commenting options.

In the meantime, head back over to Kate’s birthday post and scroll through the comments to see all of the hat suggestions made for her. You, dear readers, have put forward some awe-inspiring hats. I can’t wait to see what you suggest for our next royal birthday girls. For those of you wanting to get a head start, the royal birthdays in January include: Princess Michael of Kent, Princess Margriet of the Netherlands, Princess Claire of Belgium, the Countess of Wessex, Queen Mathilde, Princess Caroline of Hanover and Monaco and Princess Charlene of Monaco.
