Hat From the Past
to this day in 1965 and a blooming turban worn by Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, on a trip back from Jamaica. We’ve seen many millinery styles come back in (and out of!) fashion over the ensuing 51 years- all, perhaps, except this one.

Hat From the Past
45 years ago today, Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, was photographed on the occasion of her 70th birthday with her grandchildren Prince Edward (later the Earl of Wessex), Lady Sarah Armstrong-Jones and Viscount Linley. Her hat was a marvellous pompadour casque made from triangles of multi-coloured pastel silk organza trimmed with tiny silk blossoms of lily of the valley.

Hat From the Past
A pair of 70s hats that appeared at Ascot thirty seven years ago today. It feels that the mustard floral print on the Queen Mother’s hat must have appeared on a number of sofas as well.

Hat From The Past
Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, who passed away on this day in 2002. I can’t think of any other royal who has worn a halo brim as well (or as often!) as she.
