Another of my hatty heroes is HM the Queen, Elizabeth the second. She is at present on tour in the USA. Yesterday she was visiting Jamestown to celebrate the anniversary of the first settlement. Her hat was a lovely confection in beautiful almost irridescent colours it was hard to say just which colours they were as they seemed to shimmer, change and merge but there was a turquoise/ pale blue and pinky peach in there. The hat was shady, yet elegant and perfect for the occasion.
Today The Queen realises a long held ambition and visits the Kentucky Derby, for the first time. Her great love of horses and racing is well known and she will enjoy the visit immensely. The Queen breeds and races her own horses and is very knowledgable about both racing and bloodstock. Wonder what kind of hat she will wear to the races?
