Queen Margrethe was in Hellerup today to celebrate the Liberation of Denmark which occurred on May 4th, 1945. For this 70th anniversary, the Queen repeated her vibrant blue blue hat with pork pie crown, downward curved brim and striped velvet band around the crown. While she usually pairs this hat with a matching electric blue suit, today Margrethe wore it with a bright blue wool coat (we saw this coat last week in our look back at the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s wedding) and magenta blouse. It’s a smart hat and it was nice to see Queen Margrethe pair it with a different outfit. Maybe something with colour contrast next time, please?

Royal Hats 
Anything is better than the beanie hat. This hat is simple but not astonishing. The coat looks heavy and very long. She looks good in blues.
I like the Queen in brimmed hats. The shade of blue is perfect on her. I like the coat though it is a bit long.
Queen Margrethe suits blue and she suits brimmed hats. However, she is a big walking wall of blue and she reminds me of Cookie Monster.
A beautiful color on her! Much better hat than her Teletubbie beanies! I don’t mind that there is no color contrast. I just love that she looks wonderful in her coat and hat.
