William Astor’s Wedding: Miss Sophie Winkleman

William Astor's Wedding: Miss Sophie Winkleman (5 Sep 2009)

The next time you see this soon-to-be royal lady on this blog, she’ll be wearing a veil and tiara — how exciting!

I have to say, Sophie is going to give the Windsor women an incredible run for their money in the “most glamorous” race when she marries Lord Frederick Windsor this coming Saturday.  Here, at the wedding of William Astor and Lohralee Stutz in Oxfordshire, she looks absolutely smashing in her black beret.  And I say that despite the fact that:

1.) She’s wearing a black hat to a wedding — see Kate Middleton’s veiled mess at Peter Phillips’s wedding for why this is generally a bad idea — and

2.) I declared an embargo on royal ladies wearing black berets way back in June when one too many showed up at Trooping the Colour.  Forget it — I’m lifting it a month early.  It’s my blog, I’ll rescind hattery embargoes if I want to.

So, I realize that I’m totally contradicting myself by loving this, but I can’t help it.  Theoretically, I should hate this hat, but I think it’s just wonderful.  Thumbs up!

Can’t wait to see your wedding pictures this coming weekend, Sophie!
