June is always the busiest month of the year for royal hats and this year was no exception. Between foreign visits, weddings, the Order of the Garter service and regular royal engagements, last month we saw a LOT of hats!   Fourteen repeated millinery designs stood out to you as particularly impressive, based on your comments, and it is these fourteen that we now face off to pick a single winner that will move on to our year-end contest for best repeated royal hat this year.

Simply put, Queen Elizabeth’s 90th birthday celebrations last month were a royal hat extravaganza.

From this dozen, we are going to name our top two favourites to put through to our year-end contest for favourite new royal hat of 2016.
