Trooping the Colour: Mrs. James Ogilvy

Oh, it really must be Hattery Christmas: we’ve been gifted with the presence of a royal who is brand-new to the blog!
No, not Camilla — we’ll get to her in a bit. The woman on the left of the photo in the pale blue hat and coat is our newcomer: Julia Ogilvy. She’s married to James Ogilvy, son of HRH Princess Alexandra, The Hon. Lady Ogilvy.
Julia is not a frequent fixture out at royal events, but with the Kents and the Gloucesters out in force today, it’s great to see her. And the hat is perfect — understated so you don’t grab the spotlight that belongs to the (official) birthday girl, elegant, and lovely. Well done, Julia, and welcome!
