to July 31, 1917 and Prince and Princess Alexis of Serbia photographed in hats while on a visit to Stratford upon Avon. The Prince was a claimant to the Serbian throne through the Karageorgevitch family line while the princess was Myra Abigail “Abbie” Pratt, an American golfer who won a bronze medal in the 1900 Summer Olympics.

If you Zoom in, you can see the large hat pin in Princess Abbie’s hat. The history of Serbian royalty is an interesting (and a bit messy) one.
Argh, I’ve clearly gotten used to referring to Zoom the application and can apparently no longer write plain old zoom haha.
Warmly dressed for July? I like her hat, though.
Off-Subject: Imelda Staunton is in Macduff, Scotland today, filming “The Crown.” Any guesses on which of HM’s hats she is wearing?
