to this day in 2002 when Queen Beatrix welcomed Nigerian President Obasanjo on a state visit to the Netherlands wearing an oddly shaped charcoal and navy hat by Harry Scheltens.

Royal Hats 
This hat reminds me of a chamber pot!
Horrid! This hat shape looks cartoonish. I have always adored Queen Beatrix, and have some Dutch ancestry myself. I used to like her earlier hats and clothes rather than the ones worn in the past few years.
It looks like it has a handle on the back.
I think the cake is rising and about to spill over the brim in this hat!
This is what happens when she mixes it up a little! It’s different, that’s for sure…
The hat is a bit strange, like a pudding bowl with a rim.
Oh dear…not the best…overall a bit odd.
It looks like an upside down teacup.
I agree with what Joanne says: March 11, 2016 at 7:04 am. It really does look like a teacup! She could go straight to the Mad Hatter’s Tea-party with hat/cup at the ready!
Truly bizarre.
I think that the vast majority of her hats could be described as “oddly-shaped”.
Not as oddly shaped as this one! 🙂 And while the others often, or mostly, look very well on her, I don’t think this one does at all.
I don’t like this hat shape at all!
