Queen Margethe and Prince Henrik of Denmark concluded their trip to China today with a busy schedule that included a Danish-Chinese Innovation and Investment Seminar, a Mayor’s lunch, a press conference and a sail down the Huangpu River. For this busy program, Queen Margrethe repeated her natural straw hat trimmed with a wide green band around the crown. After a fantastic run of hats this tour, I think this is a rather dull one to end with. I suppose it is, however, more exciting than Margrethe’s dress and jacket.

Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik of Denmark enjoyed a busy day of engagements in the Zhejiang and Jiangsu Provinces of China yesterday. For the first time so far this tour, Queen Margrethe wore a hat she had previously worn before- her turquoise blue porkpie hat with curved brim. It remains a great hat for her and I especially love the two-toned turquoise band around the crown. Queen Margrethe’s hats so far on this tour have been quite good, haven’t they?

Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik of Denmark continued their tour of China Saturday with visits to Sino-Danish University Centre and travel  to Nanjing high-speed rail. For this busy day of events, Queen Margrethe unveiled another new hat. Made of navy wool, this hat carried a nautical vibe with its white braid trim around the brim and crown. The only thing that left me scratching my own head about this hat was the knotted mess on the side. Is it a nautical bow? Is it an anchor setting down under Margrethe’s brim? The odd embellishment aside, this high contrast hat worked well for Margrethe and her trademark red lipstick. What do you think of this nautical hat?

Previously Worn: I believe this is a new hat. I suspect we’ll see this hat again in a few weeks during the Royal Couple’s annual summer cruise.

Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik of Denmark arrived in China yesterday for a four day official visit. For a busy day of engagements today, Queen Margrethe debuted a new hat! This pale blue brimless pork pie featured gently flared sides that were horizontally pleated and trimmed with a blue and white patterned band that wrapped around the hat and formed a flower pinwheel on the side. The colour is a little paler than we are used to seeing on this colourful Queen; while I prefer her in brilliant colours, this light blue ensemble worked well. The pork pie is a more interesting shape than a pillbox (which is flat on all sides) and I thought the trim on this hat set it off beautifully. This is a very pretty hat, don’t you think?

Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik attended a ceremony yesterday to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Dybbol. For this event in Sonderborg, Denmark, Queen Margrethe repeated her oxblood brimless hat with rounded crown. I think yesterday’s photos have provided the best closeup view we have seen of the details of this hat and confirm that the black band on it is a faux snakeskin leather. This slightly edgy detail makes me like this hat even more. What do you think?
