Princess Elizabeth was named Colonel of the Grenadier Guards on her sixteenth birthday, April 21, 1942. That day, she conducted her first official engagement, an inspection of the regiment at Windsor Castle, in a military-styled hat with visor and pleated halo crown.

She would wear a another version of this hat several times during the final years of WWII, along with the similarly styled cap of her Auxiliary Territory Service uniform.
