Princess Marie of Denmark celebrates her 38th birthday today. French born Princess Marie is not what you would call a prolific hat wearer and tends to favour small straw berets, pillboxes or headband fascinators hats. While I was tempted to choose a traditional French cloche for Marie, I think she would look wonderful in a small percher hat like this one designed by Australian milliner Marilyn Van der Berg. The shape is perfect for a petite princess, the net overlay gives a decidedly modern touch, and the feather would add some much needed height to Marie- all while exuding a very chic French feel.
What hat or hat designer would you like to see Princess Marie wear?

Royal Hats 
A Bronte cloche would be very nice
we really needin some more fun type racing hats for these royal ladies!
Princess Marie has never worn a saucer hat has she? I think this one would be very cute on her. It’s so summery, light and fresh.

It’s made by my favorite hat maker Sophie Shields
Love a saucer hat for Marie but please no pastels!

I forgot to say this hat is from Nerida Fraiman
Thank you (again!) for suggesting one of my hats Alexandra!
The cocktail hats are great for Princess Marie but I want to see her in something more fashion forward like this Mandy Murphy hat (the first one that’s black and white)

I agree. Jane Corbett hats would work really well for her
I really want to see Marie in some saturated color. Blue is great on her and a small scale Philip Treacy would give her some presence.
I really like Princess Marie’s beret hats. This Jane Taylor beret covered in flowers would be so pretty on her.

This hat is delicate and beautiful but still looks very current and stylish. A beautiful choice for Princess Marie!
I think Princess Marie’s beret hats are great on her. Maybe a little plain but this Jane Taylor with feathers would be super cute and take her hats up a level. http://www.janetaylormillinery.com/onlinestore/peony-beret-feather
Hat Queen, the hat I chose for Princess Marie is similar to the hat you chose! A Rachel Black creation with net and feather.

Marie’s hats have been pretty plain and boring. I agree that a smaller hat is better for her because she’s so tiny but a small hat can still be fabulous!
I love that hat! I was also thinking a pink small hat with some fun detail for Princess Marie.
This one is made by Philip Tracey

I’m not sure who the designer of this hat is. I think it might be Samuel’s Hats

This hat was designed by British milliner Rachel Trevor Morgan.
Chic and modern. I like it for her.
This would be super cute and kind of French looking
Yes a modern cocktail hat such as this Philip Treacy haat with large rose would be chic for Princess Marie

Didn’t Princess Marie Chantal of Greece wear that hat?
I learned of this American designer, Reny Kestel yesterday and I love her hats. This one is called the Parisienne (perfecte!) and is one of the vertical hats. I think it is magnifique for Marie!
