113 years to a most jaunty hat worn by Queen Maud of Norway. The sharply angled slice brim shape is one many of us think as a contemporary one but that is clearly not the case!

Such an elegant queen. After seeing this lovely photo I just had to do some research on her.
One of the benefits of this blog is that I become more educated!
Thank you, HQ.
I had exactly the same thoughts and did the same thing! Such an interesting period and story, I wonder why no one ever made a film about it!
I agree with mittenmary that this entire ensemble would suit Princess Anne perfectly had she lived then. And though we’re here to discuss the hat, I can’t refrain from commenting on the marvelous workmanship on that lace blouse. Thanks for finding this wonderful photo!
great hat! lovely photo!
Splendid look at a royal we don’t often cover. No wonder she was known for her fashion. I could imagine Princess Anne in this Edwardian style.
Wow real vintage such detail and crafstmanship
