Queen Mathilde repeated her black felt Fabienne Delvigne fedora on Wednesday for the annual Memorial Mass for the deceased members of the Belgian Royal Family, held with just family members this year in the Royal Crypt of the Church of Our Lady of Laeken
Princess Eugenie wore a mustard velvet Jennifer Behr ‘Thada’ halo bandeau to introduce her son, August, who made his public debut in a handsome blue cuffed cap.

Royal Hats 
Not a fan of PEugenie’s headband color, but she looks GREAT that soon after having a c-section! Bless her!
I like so many of the hats you’ve shown, HQ! Thanks!
You’re most welcome. We owe great thanks to all the milliners who continue to create beautiful pieces during these difficult times.
I also gave Eugenie a cheer for wearing a headpiece to introduce her little cutie. Is this proof she reads your page, HatQueen?
One more hat caught my eye. This would look striking on Zara Tindall, Princess Charlene, Duchess of Cambridge, Beatrice Borromeo…
Mind Your Bonce
Herringbone black sinamay with a jinsin twist
I can definitely see Zara in that one. I also thought the graphic black, white and grey would be great on her.
I thought of you Hat Queen when the photos came out of Princess Eugenie wearing a bandeau. What a lovely color! Just gorgeous photos of the Brooksbank family. I quite like Master August’s name!
Gorgeous photos of HGD Stephanie and Princess Leonore. Happy Birthday!
– Oh the sunny yellow hat with wide, raw-edged Dior brim by Australian milliner Marilyn Van Den Berg is lovely! What a bright pop of color for those of us in the throes of winter. This could be a fun Ascot hat on Lady Snowdon.
– Love the pale blue wool beret by French brand Katoushti. What gorgeous detail. This would look so pretty on Princess Beatrice or Lady Louise.
– Love the periwinkle straw hugger bumper with freeform bow by Australian milliner Jill Humphries. Maybe Princess Sofia?
– Princess Eugenie for the graphic layered stripe teardrop percher with ivory silk shantung bow by British milliner Kerry Kernan. That is a wow hat!
– Duchess of Cambridge for the sky blue straw saucer brim hat with large feather flower by British milliner Justine Bradley-Hill. Simnply gorgeous!
– Prince Nikolai or Prince Felix for the deep mulberry felt feldora with black silk paisley hatband by Danish brand Hornskov København
– Countess of Wessex for the blush sisal button percher with sisal and silk abaca folded ruffle by British brand Camilla Rose Millinery.
– I saw the orange draped felt crown hat by Australian milliner Melanie Atherinos and fell in love. The scale would be great on HGD Stephanie, but perhaps a different color for her (royal blue?). The color and style would also look great on Princess Marie (as would the merlot and feather one). I also like the merlot for the Duchess of Cambridge. She would look dynamite in that color.
– I quite like the wrapped tan turban with statement flourish by German milliner Ulrike Strelow. Queen Maxima would look great in this!
