Royal Hats 
Yeah, I think the options were somewhat limited by all the non-hats at the Swedish. Baptism. I love Kate though and I also like Laurentian. Queen Silvia looks lovely but all the hat feels a bit too much like one of Queen Elizabeth’s hats from the 60s (though with a better shape) for my taste.
James:
I agree with you 100%. Color and shape are beautiful.
2nd place goes to Queen Silvia, IMO.

Blimey, it wasn’t the best September was it. Kate aces it for me.
