While many of you are eagerly awaiting this year’s new millinery from the British royal family, we must first peek at hats from Monaco, Greece, Dubai and Qatar. Some of this year’s most luxurious hats were worn by princesses and sheikhas from these countries- click on any of the photos to jump back to original posts to see additional description and detail of the hats.
The hats with the most votes across this semifinal will move forward to a final poll. If you don’t think any of these hats are worthy of the title of Best of 2015, save your vote (or jump back to vote again for hats from Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, The Netherlands or Luxembourg and Norway). You can vote for multiple hats up to four times per day so please, get voting!

Royal Hats 
I consider Beatrice Borromeo’s cream straw picture hat, pictured at Number 5, to be her best hat ever and one of the best of the year. I consider Princess Caroline’s lavender straw picture hat, pictured at Number 3, to be her best this year, and she gets bonus points because it’s a Fair Trade hat. I consider Sheikha Mozah’s natural straw hat, pictured at Number 10, to be her best hat ever and one of thee best of the year. I consider Princess Haya’s large black flower-covered saucer, pictured at Number 8, to be her best hat this year. I did not think any of the other hats here were contenders for an award.
#5 Beatrice Borromeo’s cream straw picture hat is the one I want to win for Hat of the Year. I would love to wear this hat.
In a year where she hit it out of the sartorial park, it could only be Beatrice. That hat is a stunner!
My favorite hat here is the final one, No:10. Best Wishes for the Festive Season to HatQueen and all the Royal Hat fandom.
