Royal Hats 
There was an interesting profile of British milliner Noel Stewart in the weekend edition of the Financial Times: in addition to collaborating with fashion designers including Clare Waight Keller he also works in film costume design.

I’m so interested in the tie at the back of the Jane Cave bandeau. Do bandeaux usually have something like this to anchor them? And another construction question: are those beads in the Tracey Miller hatbands, or pulled-out poufs of fabric?
Everything you said, Shanon! Spectacular cage headpiece. I’ll just add that I’m trying to imagine some occasion for Kate and Charlotte to wear the Bundle MacLaren bandeaux.
What a joyful triple selection of hats this week!
I’d like to draw attention to an initiative of British milliners (most of whom have seen their businesses come to a complete standstill):
they are now making PPE visors for NHS hospital workers for @makeavisorsaveahero
Among them royal milliner Rachel Trevor Morgan and milliner Awon Golding, creative director at Lock Hatters:
Stay safe and healthy every one!
Thanks for this, Wies. I meant to include this and am so thankful for this reminder.
What brilliant work by these milliners!
Wonderful to read this and see the Rosie the Riveter pose in the Awon Golding photo!
– I loved the Vanity Fair article on Princess Anne. The photos are great and the hats she wore are fabulous!
– So nice to see the Countess of Wessex helping out any way she can.
– I loved seeing Princess Sofia working at the hospital. That is so wonderful! She’s a great asset to the Swedish Royal Family!
– Has anyone been watching the Duchess of York read children’s stories? She’s a delight! Here’s the link https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL23MRvLMnTDPf3pf_62SswHwVXlkW-uuO I’m quite impressed with all she and Princess Eugenie are doing to help organize care packages for NHS workers.
Jam packed delights this week Hat Queen! Thank you for all the eye candy!
– I love the black and white woven straw percher with white leather flowers and veil by Justine Bradley-Hill for Princess Caroline. This hat would look so great with a cream outfit, or something bold like red or blue.
– I so love the parade of gorgeous pink percher hats, all with fantastic trimmings, from Tracey Miller. The folds are amazing on all of them. The final one in the slideshow with the veil is so lovely. It would look fantastic on the Duchess of Cambridge.
– CP Mette-Marit would look so pretty in the Jane Cave bandeau with embroidered blue flowers.
– What a gorgeous hat by Maxim. Princess Hisako or CP Mary would look great in the peacock blue and cream saucer. It is so pretty!
– Autumn Phillips would look great in the teal fur felt percher with veil and lovely leaf cutouts by Jill Humphries
– CP Mary for the lilac straw wide wave brimmed hat with floral embroidery and quills from Merve Bayindir.
– The black bandeau with veil and stunning red and white feathers by Felicity Northeast is really quite stunning. I think Queen Maxima could pull this off. It would be interesting what kind of hairstyle would work to cover the bottom band in the back. Probably a low bun?
– I just love the colorful saucer hat with soaring feathers from South African milliner Bettina Thomas. The hat was made for a very special lady and I can’t see it on anyone else. She looks sensational! Even her lipstick matches the hat’s pink. Love it!
This delicate “cage” headpiece is so pretty. I could see Lady Kitty Spencer or Beatrice Borromeo wear this:
I saw this hat and think it would be perfect for the Duchess of Cambridge, but I would love to see Queen Letizia in it. Actually, any of our beautiful Royal ladies would look amazing in this.
