Royal Hats 
Lots of big “awws” this week with the 20th anniversary, 16th birthday, and especially the happy news from Luxembourg!
I’m seeing some new milliner names in the new designs, HatQueen. How many designers are you following? This is an exceptional bunch, although it seems as though I think that every week!
I really like Princess Marie Chantal’s hat.
Wendy Louise Diggles’ index of top hats is a wonderful resource!
John Boyd’s workroom Christmas tree is definitely the best!
Such wonderful news about the new baby in 2020 for Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume and Hereditary Grand Duchess Stephanie! Congratulations!!
Gorgeous pillbox on Her Majesty Margareta of Romania. The color is fantastic!
Princess Tomohito’s hat is fantastic! I love the color and streamlined design. She looks fabulous!
– Mind Your Bonce Millinery’s navy felt saucer with cream box is fun. I instantly thought of the Duchess of Sussex for this.
– I think Princess Beatrice would looks wonderful in the red capulet by Jolanta Kotabova. The style is divine.
– I love the color and velvet on the teal bandeau by Dorothy Morant. Queen Maxima would look great in this.
– I love how delicate the pink satin covered pillbox with braided edge detail by Laura Cathcart is. Lady Louise would look lovely in this at Christmas services.
– I’m coveting the peacock blue felt fedora with the utterly fantastic metallic hatband by Sally-Anne Provan. Autumn Phillips would look awesome in this.
– I can totally see Queen Maxima in the copper silk turban with faux fur pouf from Clothilde Toussaint. The color is gorgeous!
– The Countess of Wessex would look so festive in the beautiful plum felt percher with flying bow and beautiful silk poppies by William Chambers on Christmas Day.
– I would like to see Princess Eugenie in the trilby with geometric printed hatband by Sahar Millinery.
– Lisa Alexander’s black saucer with exploding fireworks trim is a gorgeous, ingenious piece of art.
