On Thursday, members of the Danish Royal Family were on hand for the Royal Hunt at Fredensborg Castle. Prince Henrik wore a natty tweed hunting cap that I thought suited him quite well…
…until I saw the rest of his outfit.
You saw it here first, folks- the latest in Scandinavian camo chic. Here’s a glimpse of Prince Joachim in a super-pinched fedora to calm your eyes.
Outfits and snazzy socks aside, these hats are both rather dapper, aren’t they?

Royal Hats 
No one will mistake him for the elk (or whatever they are hunting)
I just love Henrik. He is an original!
If a ‘mature’ royal lady wears a crazy outfit we all gush that she has her own style, she’s confident in her own skin and good for her for being unique. Why can’t we say the same thing about royal men?
Yes Dave! I agree. However, as a mature non-royal man…I will not be wearing this. I actually like the socks though…just under my trousers! lol
I did say he’s quite fearless and I meant it. I love Henrik for his sense of humour, he seems to have a lot of fun (despite/because of? his position). Have a look at this photo – his grin says it all:

Thanks for sharing that picture Sandra! I loved his racing cap and his smile was wonderful. The man in the background made it even better! lol
Gotta love Prince Henrik! It is not something I would wear, but I am glad he has such an air of confidence about him!
I almost hate to admit this, but I rather like the wild outfit. You would ALWAYS find him in a quick flash amongst the crowd.
Delightful comment, HatQueen, about the next shot to “calm your eyes” – made me giggle for sure.
Quite a contrast.
BAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Too awesome for words!
Where can we get this? I mean the whole works. My husband would just love to have a hat like that–and the rest–well?
Henrik is a laugh, isn’t he? Quite fearless. Love his cape, and I’ll leave it at that!
Hahah, how humorous. Although, he might have been going old school. Like really old school. I’m usually a lurker here, but now I had to comment. He might have been going for a combination of these dapper dudes.
I’ve never commented here before but since my kids are on the floor in total convulsions about this I had to say something! My husband is wondering what kind of bet he lost to have to go out in public in this!
Thanks for the laugh on a very cold Saturday afternoon! This blog is smart, funny, thoughtful and so entertaining. Keep up the great work!
O MY WORD.
Actually…. there are NO words! You’ve got to love royal eccentricity.
My goodness. The hats are handsome but those socks and pants do not go together very well.
