The month of March usually brings us numerous wonderful royal hats and this year was no exception. Choosing favourites is more difficult- while a clear winner pulled ahead in the race for favourite new design, the poll for favourite repeated hat was a photo finish by the closest margin of any poll here to date- just two votes! Here are your winners:
Princess Anne’s straw picture hat with cream brim, navy crown, feathers, bows and quills worn Mar 12
Queen Elizabeth’s burgundy hat with cherry blossoms and feathers by Angela Kelly worn Mar 12

I’m delighted to see that Princess Anne won this time — many of her hats are (to me) very uninteresting, but this one was delightful, and deserves top place! HM’s hat is also an excellent choice, especially at this cherry blossom time of year.
Great! They are exactly the ones I vote for, repeated and new royal hats respectively!
