Between state visits, the Cheltenham Festival and several other higher profile events, the month of March brought us numerous royal hats. Based on your comments, thirteen repeated designs stood out as particularly successful and it is now time to take a look at this mix of brimmed and brimless designs to choose  your favourite. As with other monthly posts, the winner of this poll will be put forward as a semi-finalist in our year-end contest for for Readers’ Repeated New Royal Hat of 2018.
