113 years to a most jaunty hat worn by Queen Maud of Norway. The sharply angled slice brim shape is one many of us think as a contemporary one but that is clearly not the case!

Hat From the Past
55 years to this day in 1965. Prince Rainier and Princess Grace, in a silk turban, en route to a Christmas party for Monaco security forces accompanied by Prince Albert in the uniform of a Monegasque gendarme.

Hat From the Past
to November 20, 1972 and brimless hat covered in robin’s egg blue feathers and a side ostrich plume worn by Queen Elizabeth to celebrate her and the Duke of Edinburgh’s 25th wedding anniversary. With her silk coat with mink collar and cuffs, the Simone Mirman hat topped a wonderfully luxe ensemble that we’ve previously named as one of Her Majesty’s most iconic looks. See additional photos of the ensemble (the hat has faded, unfortunately) here at the Royal Collection Trust.

Hat From the Past
four years ago to a Te Deum service held on November 15, 2016 and an interesting hat on Prince Laurent of Belgium. I think he’d be better suited to a shorter crown (something pinched maybe?) and slightly wider brim- what do you think?
Thanks, Jake, for suggesting this hat!

Hat From the Past
59 years to November 1961 and a duck netting trip outside Tokyo that saw Princess Alexandra in a fur pillbox, Empress Nagako in a blue cuffed hat and then Crown Prince Akihito in a brown fedora, all out for Empress Michiko, who was crown princess at the time, seems to have sported a brown capulet style hat with side bow.
Thanks, Jake, for this photo suggestion!
