She repeated this hat yesterday back in the Netherlands where she  baptized two ships of the Royal Wagenborg shipping company in Delfzijl. It’s a super chic look!

Duke of Westminster’s Memorial

Posted on by

Members of the British Royal Family gathered at Chester Cathedral yesterday to attend a memorial service for Gerald Cavendish Grosvenor, 6th Duke of Westminster, who died on August 9, 2016. The Duchess of Westminter wore a black felt hat with gently upsweeping brim and tall crown, trimmed with a large felt rose and wide silk hatband.

The Duchess of Cambridge repeated the black felt hat with upwept brim she debuted on Remembrance Sunday. The pairing of this hat with Kate’s wool and velvet Alexander McQueen coat is a stunning one that beatifully highlights the contrasting velvet underbrim and hatband on the coat. Kate and her stylist do so well at mixing the pieces in her wardrobe and this pairing is just exquisite.

Princess Eugenie wore what is described by the designer as a design in “deep purple velvety felt in a 1950s wide-brimmed shape with a shallow crown. Trimmed with violet and bronze leaves wrapping around the brim”. The hat is a beautiful colour and scale on Eugenie- she should wear purple more often! At first glance, I wondered about the pairing of this hat with her teal coat but if you scroll down to the very last picture in this post, you’ll see that the coat is actually black.
