Continuing our look at red royal hat wardrobe inventories, we move today to the millinery closet of the Duchess of Cornwall. This will be an extremely short tour as Camilla has just one red hat:
1.
Designer: unconfirmed. Likely Philip Treacy
Introduced: April 10, 2005
UPDATE- A second hat in raspberry wool with black faux fur cuff brim was added on Christmas Day 2017
Designer: Lock & Co.
Introduced: Dec 25, 2017
This piece is a simple one that shows how great Camilla looks in red, although I can see how one of her go-to picture hats in this shade might be a bit much. She also wore an interesting red headpiece for Prince William’s African themed birthday party in 2003 before she joined the family but I doubt we’ll see that piece in public again. What do you think- yes or no to more red hats for the Duchess’ wardrobe?

This is a good red hat and the placement of the feathers is just right. Please wear more red Duchess!
I love this jaunty red hat on the Duchess. She looks so vibrant and a bit younger too! I must say though, I think it should be worn only with the various plaid suits, coats, etc. A bit of plaid or whole outfit, it’s the perfect hat….and with a feather or two!
Red is a great colour on her! Bring on the red!
Lovely hat, lovely colour.
This is a splendid red hat, and I would like to see her do more red, because it looks good against blonde hair, and I even wish she would vary her hats more, instead of just wearing the huge architectural hats most of the time, which I like, but I still want to see some variety.
I love this hat (and it’s blue twin). Cams looks good in red. One of her large hats in a wine or burgundy color would be fab!
Up vote more red! Or burgandy! Or wine-colored! Or dark crimson! Bring on the color Your Royal Highness!
I like this red hat and I’d like to own it myself. I wish she would wear more red hats. I love the exotic red headpiece she wore in the photo at the link, and I hope that we’ll see it again, perhaps if she has a tour in Africa?
This is one of my all-time favorite hat ensembles! I, too, would like to see Camilla in Burgundy.
I have to chime in as well that this red hat is beautiful with her hair. And she looks lovely.
Hello? Duchess, can you hear our votes for more red hats? You can pull it off swimmingly!
We wait with bated breath… 😉
Like red on her hair color but red is not one of her better shades for her skin tone. Probably why we don’t see her in red a lot.
The red against her light colored hair looks wonderful.
I love Camilla in red! It’s so lovely! She definitely needs more red hats. It looks fabulous on her!
I hope you do red wardrobe inventories for Queen Máxima, Queen Mathilde, the Duchess of Cambridge and Sophie Wessex!
She needs more colorful hats in her wardrobe period, especially in the summer. This bright red would be great for an Ascot hat, and burgundy and dark crimson would be wonderful on her too anytime. Hopefully she’ll experiment some more with vivid colors and do less of the pastels and neutrals she favors.
Agreed The Duchess has so many beige/tan/offwhite hats. Just because she favors huge hats, which certainly stand out, doesn’t mean she shouldn’t go beyond colorless, muted pastel or black hats and shouldn’t stand out even more.
Love this hat and love her in it. Red is a great colour for her.
Yes to more red! Since she only has one, it’s nice that it is a great one.
She looks fabulous in red!
