The Chelsea Flower show is one of many things relocated online this year, with a message of encouragement from its patron. Buckingham Palace also shared a gallery of Her Majesty attending in years past and some of the hats are wonderful:

To kick off this year’s virtual Flower Show, which coincides with Mental Health Awareness Week in the UK, members of the Royal Family joined in the #MyChelseaGarden campaign, sharing their favourite plants and flowers. Since flowers are such a huge part of royal hats and we all need some encouragement, let’s take a peek, starting with the Queen’s favourites:
Princess Alexandra:
Duke & Duchess of Gloucester
The Earl and Countess of Wessex
I thought this was charming and I hope it brightens your day.

Glorious post, HatQueen! We’ve seen HM’s favorite flower on quite a few of her hats.
So lovely! The first photo reminds me so much of the Vancouver artist by the (unfortunate?) name Agent X. I have a limited print by him in my living room, though I wasn’t ballsy enough to go for the one with the Queen’s profile. I adore all the floral choices, and props to Camilla for picking a good foliage/filler plant!
