Ascot 2022 Day 5: Peter Phillips & Lindsay Wallace

Peter Phillips attended the final day of racing today accompanied by his girlfriend, Lindsay Wallace. Not surprisingly, Peter repeated his black top hat.

Lindsay wore another Justine Bradley-Hill design, this one a teardrop percher in white woven paper straw trimmed with a spray of off white leather flowers and a white tulle veil.

Ascot 2022 Day 5: Princess Beatrice & Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi

Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi braved rainy weather today to attend the final day of racing this week at Ascot Racecourse today.

Princess Beatrice wore a hat pulled from the depths of her closet, a small black straw button percher trimmed with black looped bow, trimmed feather and a cream silk rose.

Percher bases have, on average, grown in size in the twelve years since Princess Beatrice first wore this hat and I think it’s a trend for the better. This one feels an awkwardly small scale for a mature royal woman and while the trim is has stood up well and the graphic black and white scheme is timeless, I think a hat with a larger base would simply suit Beatrice better. She has numerous other black and white design in her closet, several of which I think would have made a better choice today.

Edoardo repeated his black antique silk top hat.
