The breakneck pace of royal hatted events in June usually means we often spend July catching up and this year is no different! While we crowned our favourite Ascot hats last week, we need to go back and choose our favourite designs worn in the months of May and June.

Between garden parties, National Day celebrations and regular engagements, the month of May brought us eight repeated royal hats which, based on your comments, were met with particular admiration. Please click on each hat to jump back to its original feature post with additional views and information. Here are these 8 hats, shown in the order they were worn:

1.    2.  

Queen Margrethe’s turquoise hat with pork pie crown and velvet hatband worn May 2
Princess Benedikte’s purple straw hat with pink hatband and silk flower worn May 7 

3.   4.  

Queen Elizabeth’s pale pink boater with wide hatband by Angela Kelly worn at a May 16 garden party
The Duchess of Cambridge’s blue straw raised saucer with straw calla lily by Lock & Co worn May 16

5.   6.

The poll will remain open until next Friday, July 28 at midnight GMT and and each computer or mobile device can vote twice per day for as many hats as you wish. Happy voting!
