thirty years ago to this day in 1987, the Cheltenham races, and an always smiling queen on one of her signature veiled hats with halo brim and a sprinkling of feathers.

Beautiful!
Lovely hat, lovely lady 🙂
HatQueen, did she only wear these style of hats or did she ever try any others. These are all I’ve seen. Thanks
If you jump over to the “Hats From The Past” page, there is a list of all the hats worn by The Queen Mother featured here on Royal Hats so far (a work in progress!). You’ll be able to see several types of styles.
Beautiful color on Queen Elizabeth! She always reminds me of my English grandmother.
A lovely photo of the Queen, not only a lovely outfit but a happy lovely person. Zara (maybe not on purpose) but in the same color gives a wonderful nod to her grandmother.
How fun to see her great-granddaughter at the same event in the same color! Did you do that intentionally, HQ?
No! I set this post up a few weeks ago and the match was a happy coincidence.
When I’m 87 I hope to be as engaged and vibrant as the Queen Mum was! Love this whole outfit especially the gorgeous color of the coat.
Beautiful, flattering photograph.
In my memory I always see the Queen Mum in floaty gauzy silks and chiffons, so it is unusual and very pleasant to see her beautifully dressed in royal blue wool!
can I say adorable? well she does look adorable
