Royal Hats 
Wonderful to see some of the Japanese Imperial Family out again, even if it’s for a solemn occasion. The Empress looks quite regal in pearl white, and I’m glad to see everyone wearing a mask.
Something seems off with the brim on Margrethe’s apricot-colored hat; do we think’s it’s been handled a bit much recently? (I noticed it looked a bit bent during its last outing) At any rate, a good one to bring back out as royal hats slowly make a return.
I saw pictures of Camilla and Charles meeting Macron, but not where she was wearing this hat. A great choice for this outing, but since the feathers went away it just doesn’t wow me in the same way it once did unfortunately.
And nice to see William sporting a flat/driving cap in the photo celebrating his birthday; gives me a little hope we may see more hats on him in the future!
Thank you HatQueen, for featuring my Toboggan hat. And thank you for a week full of online Ascot delight! I didn’t have time to comment much, but loved browsing through all the pics. So many people really made an effort to dress for the occasion, very good for morale!
I love the wonderful guipure topper by Neil Grigg and all Awon Golding’s hats.
The reconstructed Viking hall is very interesting, would be a perfect film set. The pictures of Prince William with his father and with his children are lovely, but what surprises me is the jacket the Prince of Wales wore during the visit of President Macron: not exactly an advertisement for British tailoring. How strange!
I suspect Prince Charles’ medals completely ruin the balance of a summer weight suit jacket but you’d think, by now, a solution would have been found for this!
He carries a tremendous amount of medals indeed! (By the way, do you call that a fruit salad, as we do?)
But sleeves don’t seem to hang correctly either, pockets are bulging … wrong fabric all together I think.
You’re right. It’s not good!
Wies:
I just love your hats!
The toboggan hat is a wonderful melding of precision and flair.
Thank you.
Thank you Beth 😊
Prince Charles’s jacket looks too baggy, as if he lost some weight. Which is odd, because his face doesn’t look thinner.
This is a packed post Hat Queen! Nice to see so many Royals out and about.
– Empress Masako looks so chic, even in her face mask. Her hat is lovely.
– Camilla’s hat is lovely. Nice to see her out and wearing a fabulous hat!
– King WA is really fun! What a great sense of humor.
– sweet photos of the Luxembourg royals.
– fabulous photos of the Duke of Cambridge and his kids. They are so fun and shows what a wonderful relationship they have.
– I saw the silver straw pyramid hat with cream and red Japanese silk flowers by Felicity Northeast. I would love to see this on one of the Japanese Royals.It’s so unique and beautiful.
– I could see Zara Tindall in the denim blue straw beret percher with rainbow trim by Vesna Pesic
– Awon Golding is really having a moment. She knocked it out of the park at At Home Ascot. The pale pink sculptural headpiece is so stunning. She looks so amazing in her own creation. I think the royal who could wear this almost as fabulously as Ms Golding does is Princess Haya.
– what a beautiful color on the webbed brim and pink rose hat by Noeleen Millinery. I can see this on the Countess of Wessex.
– Wies’ utterly fabulous “Le Toboggan” design would look spectacular on Queen Maxima. What a beautiful, stunning, fun and chic hat Wies! Congratulations! As a Canadian, I love the name of the hat. We use toboggans here all the time in the winter. 🙂
Thank you for your compliment Shanon. I am not often completely satified with the outcome of a hat, but this one turned out exactly as I had it in mind.
