On Saturday, Queen Sonja of Norway and Queen Margrethe of Denmark attended a seminar on the bicentenary of the Norwegian Constitution and unveiled the sculpture “Dobbeltlegeme” by Morten Stræde. For these final events held in Copenhagen, the two queens repeated navy ensembles with coordinating hats. Queen Margrethe wore her much loved red straw picture hat featuring a textured open weave straw detail on one side of the hat.

Queen Sonja repeated the white straw hat with cloche-style crown wrapped in a ruched navy and white sash that she wore for her Stortinget visit last week. The photos released today show this hat to much greater effect and remove my previous misgivings about it. The side view of this hat below, which includes the lovely large folded bow, is particularly pretty.

I always love seeing members of different royal houses at joint engagements and thought these two queens looked quite smashing today. What do you think of their hats?

Oh, I love both hats!!
How good does Queen Margrethe look in a suit, very nice. The hat coordinates pretty well with the outfit but when I like at the close up photos of the hat I don’t think I like the half and half look.
I like Queen Sonja’s the best.
I agree. That suit is gorgeous and the hat is a perfect match for it.
each of these Queen’s is wearing a hat that is just perfect for her. Thank you for the pictures.
They both look lovely.
That amount sums it up. Both are appropriate, nice-looking hats.
Jane you are so right! Both of the Queens look great.
nothing to add, you are right.
