Royal Hats 
I rather like this! It’s very Alexis in Dynasty isn’t it?!
Intriguedbyroyals, What a rude comment!
We’re not all sartorially challenged in the colonies. We don’t have royalty but can appreciate a well constructed and well worn hat!
SoCal Gal, as a fellow American, I find that since becoming a regular reader of this blog, I focus as much on the lack of hats as on the rare hat I come across on American personages. By which I mean I often find myself imagining what this or that person might look like in the type of hats we discuss here. For example, a particular news commentator I often see, a somewhat older woman who is fond of wearing large brooches high on her shoulder much like HM (though most certainly costume jewelry in her case, and the positiioning is most likely so that they will be seen on camera) has just the perfect hairstyle to go with hats, so when I see her on TV, I often find myself imagining what she might look like in the various royal hats we have recently seen. I wonder if anyone else ever does that with public figures, or if I’m just weird?
I usually don’t like turbans, but I like this one. Maybe, it’s Queen Noor–she carries it off well! I’m surprised since she was an American.
I think some clarification is needed here- do you mean because her American background likely didn’t involve much hat wearing?
That is exactly what I meant HatQueen. I said this in the context of being an American myself. No offense was intended. I am sorry that I offended some of you. I will try to be more careful in the future.
It’s a good reminder- in this medium, communication is one dimensional- only the words we write. Taking care to be as clear as possible is always a good idea!
