Royal Hats 
Queen Mathilde’s red pleated calot hat isn’t great but it’s the best of a rather sad bunch and so it got my vote.
Mathilde’s hats are lovely but that beret on Elizabeth is such an unusual shape from her.
I still love that fuschia hat with the red feather!
Oh my goodness. I am not overly fond of any of these hats so won’t vote. Sorry to be left out in the cold.
