Great photos, great hat. I wonder why though? Recent pictures showed him always driving in a flat cap and tweeds. Perhaps it’s different outfits for different sized coaches? (Lady Louise drives in an embellished top hat in competition.)
Maybe it had something to do with it being the World Championship?
