Marina! Always a true favorite of mine! So elegant!
Princess Marina was so chic. I wonder what colour she was wearing that day. I also love the Nanny’s hat as she carries baby Princess Alexandra to the car.
I would love to know the answer to your question!
There’s actually a lot more to this hat than meets the eye. Wonderful fluttering feathers are present here, but alas, all too briefly, starting at 0:53.
February 9, 1937: Alexandra’s Christening
Brilliant. I haven’t found any photos of Queen Mary but the new Queen Elizabeth also had a smart hat.

Thanks, Jimbo! We can always count on you to find the extra, sometimes obscure pictures, even for oldies such as this one!
Very chic, indeed. What an attractive couple they were!
I agree!
