Danish Royals On Land and Sea

Crown Princess Mary of Denmark laid the foundation stone for Mary Elizabeth’s Hospital at Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen on Monday. For this event, she repeated a rose-beige straw picture hat. The hat’s brim, bound in wide cream binding, follows a lovely curve upward around the front and the hat is simply trimmed with an ivory hatband that ties in a bow at the back. It’s a classic design that belies its age, which is always nice to see!
