Royal Hats

Queen Elizabeth, the Duchess of Cornwall and the Duchess of Cambridge snapped last weekend en route to church in Scotland. Kate’s burgundy hat is a design we’ve not seen on her before (Daily Mail)

Prince Henrik opened a new hunting chase house last weekend in an appropriately outdoorsy hat (The Danish Monarchy)

Nice to see Princess Anne up and about again at the Whatley Manor Horse trials after her recent sickness (Daily Mail)

A preview of the final section of this year’s amazing exhibition on Queen Elizabeth’s fashion due to open at Windsor Castle today. It looks like the exhibit focuses on ensembles Her Majesty has worn at Windsor and the hat display are designs all worn to Ascot (including the orange one dubuted just this year)

There are several John Boyd sun hats here that I’d love to see on several British royal heads. And a few more for myself, please.

Countess Gunnila Bernadotte passed away on Monaday. While we did not see the Countess in many hats (just this one at Princess Leonore’s christening), The Royal Court Jeweller has a lovely memorial post looking at her jewels. 

Great article by the Countess of Wessex about her upcoming bike ride in support of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (Daily Mail)

Our friends over at Luxarazzi have linked to an interesting look inside preparations for an official dinner at the Grand Ducal Family’s residence, Château de Berg. While the report is not in English, it still provides a great peek inside a working royal palace. 

Somehow, I missed the the release of this stunning image of Prince Daniel and Prince Oscar, taken at Crown Princess Victoria’s July 15th birthday celebration. See two others taken the same day here and here.

I’ll do my best to post a review of British Easter hats tomorrow. Following this, I’ll be signing off for three weeks. On Monday and Thursday mornings, there will be an open post for you all to share links to current royal hats and discuss them as usual. I’m relying on you to keep track of royal hat happenings while I am away and thank you all in advance for keeping the conversation going!

Danish Prince Hosts Royal Hunt

Posted on by

Prince Henrik of Denmark hosted a royal hunt at Gribskov in northern Zealand today. Ordinarily, I wouldn’t feature this kind of event in a post but I saw this photo and I just had to share, Not only is Prince Henrik’s white embellished papakah wonderful (especially with his cape and most regal of poses) but the entire hunting scene looks like it was lifted straight from the 19th century.

It’s fascinating how the royals manage to keep multiple layers of tradition (including hat wearing!) alive.

Royals Gather to Celebrate Bicentenary of Royal Yacht Squadron

Posted on by

The Duke of Edinburgh marked the bicentenary of the Royal Yacht Squadron with a Fleet Review of more than 180 ships gathered at Cowes on the Isle of Wight. Prince Philip, who is Admiral of the Squadron and wore a cap related to this rank, presided over the day’s events aboard a Royal Navy patrol boat.

Sailing is a popular sport among European royals; accomplished royal sailors King Harald of Norway, Prince Albert of Monaco, King Constantine of Greece, Prince Pavlos of Greece, Viscount Linley and Prince Henrik of Denmark were in attendance for the naval celebration, all sporting natty nautical caps.

Prince Philip was further accompanied by the Princess Royal, Vice Admiral Timothy Laurence, the Earl and Countess of Wessex and Prince Michael of Kent. While Princess Anne sported a headscarf, the royal men (except for the Vice Admiral) wore hats related to their roles with the squadron.

 It looks like an enjoyable day was had by all, doesn’t it?!
