BUT DO YOU LIKE THE HATS?

Prince Philip, the Queen, Camilla, and Catherine


The Baltimore Sun has a slide show of today's grand celebration of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee on the River Thames

  1. I love the Queen's hat, but that monstrosity on Charles present wife only serves to hide her hair and shadow her face. Maybe that's a good thing. Catherine still looks lovely and the hat is perfectly fine with that outfit.

  2. I don't like any of the hats. To my mind, the British royal ladies and upper class ladies wear some very strange hats.

  3. Yes, "strange" covers it and that goes for the men's hats too. I love the first picture in the series for "strange" men's hats.

  4. I commend hats. i love hats. Yes, some of them are hideous---but I still love the hatness of them.

    My mother says it's because I have a big nose and masses of curly hair, so I can 'do' hats.

    One of my favorite from years ago was a princess-di inspired number, very rakish, like this:

    Only mine didn't have that ridiculous bow, but a jaunty feather

  5. I like hats, too, and I wish we wore them more here in the US. I have a wide-brimmed, hand-woven hat made of stripped palmetto leaves, which I love, and I do wear it as a sun hat and at other times.

    IT, I also love the hat you linked to, and much better with a feather. I do like a good many of the hats the Queen wears, but not the one pictured above. If memory serves, I mostly liked Diana's hats, too.

  6. No comment about the hats . . . but I heard that Prince Phillip was hospitalized, so prayers for him.

  7. Oh dear, I'm sorry to hear about Prince Phillip. Prayers of course.
