Prince Albert and Princess Charlene of Monaco:ย Princess Charlene topped her pale suit (love the pearl floral buttons!) with a sleek beret percher hat simply trimmed with a knotted bow at the side. The hat looks to be covered in the same barely-blush hue as the suit.

King Felipe and Queen Letizia of Spain: Queen Letizia wore the largest hat we’ve seen her in to date, a design in natural hued straw with mushroom brim and button crown, draped in an overlay of widely woven (I think it’s vintage?) bubblegum pink net veil. It’s a dramatic design for Letizia and so wonderful to see her experimenting with new millinery shapes.

Apologies, everyone, for the break between posts. As expected, the coronation was attended by members of the extended British royal family, the women in a parade of new hats.
Princess Beatrice wore a gold silk bandeau described by the designer as, “Understated and luxurious in equal measure, our โGrazianaโ headpiece was inspired by Jackie Onassisโ iconic pillbox hats, reimagined in the form of a contemporary โhatbandโ. Crafted from smocked Duchess silk, and designed to create rich depth and subtle texture.” The pairing of gold headpiece and magenta dress is a little unexpected but works so well.

Zara Tindall wore a cornflower blue teardrop percher hat covered in the same fabric as her coat. The design is embellished with a matching silk abaca twisted bow and dyed ostrich feather pouf. While a familiar shape on Zara, the colour and trim on this design make it a standout on her.
