Queen Margrethe of Denmark attended the 100th anniversary of Simeon’s Church in Copenhagen yesterday. For this centenary celebration, Margrethe repeated one of my least favourite hats. Hopefully, the festivities were not dampened by this rather unfortunate helmet.

Well I am going to be in the minority here. I think it is an elegant but whimsical hat on a tall handsome Queen known for her distinctive, slightly “out there” fashion. It’s a great colour with her silver hair and fair complexion and goes well with those fullish coat sleeves. Not a style for everybody perhaps but I think she looks as smart as paint.
Beautiful Queen, hideous hat! I want to snip the antenna off with my scissors! Someone who loves her needs to tell her to burn it.
Just a big NO!
Not flattering:( Perhaps, the hat might have worked without the patent leather band…
German vocabulary lesson: Pickelhaube. While it may have served the Prussian army (and even they opted out of the wide black patent band), I don’t think it’s flattering to the Danish queen.

ahhh, dipsy the ‘teletubby’ is back!
you picked the wrong colour, i’m afraid, your majesty. limegreen please, next time 🙂
The hat should be named the Dipsy beret. Who knows it could start a new teletubby sensation…Red, blue, yellow and limegreen.
