The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester attended the Founder’s Day Parade at Royal Hospital Chelsea on Thursday, the Duke in military uniform and the Duchess in her repeated pale grey straw beret.
Queen Margrethe repeated her white straw hat with upturned brim on Friday for a visit to Skibelund Krat.

Interesting read from Dame Frances Campbell-Preston. I recently read Margaret Rhodes’ The Final Curtsey. It’s fascinating getting a glimpse into the life of the Queen Mother.
– I like the straw hat with split brim rolled into calla lilies by Dutch milliner Marilène De Zome for Queen Margrethe
– The Duchess of Cambridge for the red straw beret with fan and statement feather by British milliner Louise Pocock. I think this feather could be added to the tallest feather challenge as well!
– I agree with MittenMary about the magenta straw brimmed hat with vibrant handmade silk flowers by Scottish milliner Leanne Cairns for the Duchess of Cornwall. That is one gorgeous hat!
– I love the ivory and pale jade sisal boater hat with bow by French milliner Béatrice de Beauvoir for either of the York Princesses.
Since many expressed wishes for Camilla to change it up a little, I’m selecting the magenta brimmed straw by Leanne Cairns for her. It’s not too far from her standard look, but a different shape and dazzling color.
Lovely photos of Charlotte and the butterflies! And it’s so good to see Margrethe making the rounds in her summery white and navy.
