Carina Axelsson shared a photo enjoying a walk with her dogs in her favourite hiking hat. The Court Jeweller also posted an interesting article this week about the Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg inheritance and what it means for Carina and her partner Prince Gustav. 

Love the use of Petersham ribbon trim on this straw cocktail hat by Dutch milliner Eudia

Earlier this year, we saw Zara Tindall in a hat by Australian milliner Meg Rafter. I’d love to see her in more Rafter designs- these pieces from her new winter collection look fantastic. I adore the innovative uses of feather trim.
