Danish Princess Marks Anniversary and Opens Exhibition

Last Sunday, Princess Benedict attended the 70th anniversary celebration of Benedictine Church’s, an ecclesiastical, cultural and social meeting place for Danes in Hamburg. For this event, she repeated her  periwinkle felt brimmed hat with pink ribbon hatband.

Previously Worn: Apr 23, 2021

Yesterday afternoon, Princess Benedikte opened Museum Sønderjylland’s new jewelry exhibition “Macabre Masterpieces” at Sønderborg Castle. For this event, she wore a brown felt hat with diagonally striped bumper brim, trimmed with a pink and brown wool tweed bow and fur pompoms. We’ve all seen this hat before, right? Not quite! Princess Benedikte has a black version of this very same style (diagonal crown stripes and all) but I think this brown version is new. The pink trim works well, doesn’t it?

Designer: unknown
Previously Worn: I believe this hat is new

Dutch Welcome Indian State Visit

The Dutch king and queen welcomed President Ram Nath Kovind of India and his wife, Savita Kovind, to the royal palace in Amsterdam yesterday for the start of a 3-day state visit. Queen Máxima repeated her grey fur felt oversize fedora, with tall crown and a wide, downward facing brim simply trimmed with a wide grey Petersham ribbon hatband.

It’s a subdued ensemble for Queen Máxima, who must have known (or predicted?) that Savita Kovind would wear a vibrant sari. Perhaps this was a deliberate choice?
