While we usually put forward a handful of favourite hats for polls, pandemic times call for rule changes so we’re going to face off most of the repeated hats we saw over the summer. The winner you choose here will move forward in our end-of-year contest for Favourite Repeated Royal Hat of 2020.

Royal Hats 
My God – just see how few there are shows us what kind of a drought we’re having. I hope the royal milliners have been getting plenty of inspiration for 2021!
Maybe I should have included September… but organizing this yesterday, it felt better to plan September & October and November & December polls. I suspect we’ll see few hats as we move further toward winter.
Oh I agree – spread it out a bit! Things are starting to wake up ever so slightly so hopefully there might be a few more for those months?!
Kudos to the Duchess of Cornwall for appearing in three hats over the summer. That’s our kind of royal!
