The Queen’s hat





Too much royalty perhaps recently, but I must just record that the Queen really does seem to be doing a bit of a Jenny Joseph with her hats these days, kicking over the traces just a little.

On a visit to the Chelsea Flower Show she wore a particularly fetching creation of bows & black lace – a very clever combination of the very girlish & something her great great grandmother Queen Victoria might have worn (at home) in her old age.
