I just love this vintage photo. Thank you HatQueen!
I love to look at vintage hats on all royalties…I hope we see many more. Thank you!
I love the photo, but I can’t say that I love the hat. Those turban styles were not the most flattering to anyone…
Over the top! I love it!
I always enjoy these flashbacks. The Queen chose a wide variety of hats when she was younger, and I wish she would do so now, instead of wearing the same style all the time.
That outfit is stunning! Look how luxe that dress and coat are! I love these Flashback photos! Thanks for all you do!
Didn’t like many of her hats then and still don’t like this one today — she often looked behind the times by about 5 or 6 years back then.
I was just thinking that is a hat and a nice hat compared to fascinators and head bands.
Do we know where that was? HM looks pensive. A most attractive couple and still going strong.
