The Queen's Hat (The Queen Collection)

Product Information

From ladylike 1950s hats with netting to trendy turbans in the 1970s and even floral-covered shower cap-style hats, we’ve seen it all from The Queen. It’s a popular pastime to bet on the colour of Her Majesty’s hat at Royal Ascot, and Kelly purposely displays various hats so they can’t get any insider tips to place bets. The pale pink hat worn by The Queen for the main part of her Silver Jubilee celebrations in 1977 is, for me, the ultimate royal hat. Now in her 25th year in the primary education profession, Jane’s incredible knowledge and expertise provides a solid framework for teachers, enabling her to support, enrich and sharpen the teaching of reading, writing and spelling.

However, the most striking part of this design is the sides of the hat which almost completely enclose the head. My next pick is this fabulous headpiece The Queen wore during her 1982 tour of the South Pacific on a stop to Tuvalu. Another very famous look, though perhaps more divisive, is the hat that Her Majesty wore for the Investiture of the Prince of Wales at Caernarvon Castle in 1969. View your royal hats through the eyes of a colour-blind person and see how you can do just one thing to make your classroom more colour-blind friendly.The cap shape allowed The Queen’s face to be seen fully from afar while the colour was just bright enough to make it stand out amongst the huge crowds that came to cheer her on her first major monarchical milestone. The most memorable part of the hat are the bell shaped flowers that flow freely in a little collection at the back, adding another focal point to keep all eyes on the Jubilee Queen. S. media outlets discussing the British royals including BBC Breakfast, BBC World News, Sky News, the Associated Press, TIME, The Washington Post, and many others. My first pick for a great hat is this purple ombre concoction worn on a tour of Victoria, British Columbia, in Canada in March 1983.

Either way, this one hat is hugely emblematic, another of the most famous looks in the long reign of Elizabeth II.These days, she’s more likely to wear a brightly coloured brimmed style by her longtime dresser, Angela Kelly, who admitted in her book “The Other Side of the Coin” that she sets out different hats to fool members of staff. I’m staying in Canada for my second pick: this pretty plaid hat worn by The Queen at the Montreal Summer Olympics in 1976. Her Majesty definitely used to take some interesting fashion risks during this time period, and I really enjoy these fun departures from the typical “queenly” hats you would think of today. Although it doesn’t necessarily go with The Queen’s style asthetic today, I wish some of the younger members of the Royal Family would break out these fun vintage styles! The trail launched at the Corinium Museum, Cirencester, May 13th, and many more museums took part nationwide.

When I got to see The Queen in person in 2010, she was wearing a bright yellow hat that’s seared into my memory. The curled white ribbon weaving through the berries adds additional interest to the piece and really ties in nicely with the trim on her coat here. You can use this fun trail in your school, library, museum or even at home for children and families to follow that hat! Kristin was Chief Reporter for Royal Central until 2022 and has been following the British royal family for more than 30 years. To celebrate the UK publication of Sometimes You Have To Be A Little Bit Naughty, written by Tim Minchin and illustrated by me, I have made this fun trail for you to use in your library.It is said to have been partly inspired by Tudor times and there’s certainly an element of the hoods worn by royal women of the time. This pink hat by Angela Kelly, as worn to Royal Ascot in 2016, is definitely my favourite of The Queen’s. I love that her philosophy with regards to style isn’t to be a maven always on the latest trend before the rest of us catch up, it’s ‘I have to be seen to be believed. The hat, designed by Frederick Fox, features a series of feathers erupting from a periwinkle polka-dot print base. It’s another Simone Mirman creation, made of primrose yellow silk, and it features a huge amount of embellishment which adds texture to the whole look.

If you didn’t know she was The Queen, you’d assume she was any other woman with how polished she looks. Looking back on the ’70s and what colours were trendy, this hat fits and nods towards the fact that she is the Queen of Great Britain while also being chic and modern.
