Grab a seat, hatters -- time to enjoy our final Hat Christmas hurrah of the year!
St. Paul's was simply lousy with royals today! Let's get this Jubilee party started, hatters!

Time to have a boat parade in the freezing cold rain, everybody! Good thing the ladies brought their hats along...

Our Maddest Hatter has certainly let her style mature in the months since the Wedding Disaster, hasn't she? This is a charming little hat (even if it is, I think, a repeat), but I do sort of long for the days of Yorkie madness at Christmastime.

If you ask me, there are few hats in life that make you feel better than a good, old-fashioned mortarboard. I mean, what's better than a hat that shouts, "I did it! Finals and term papers and all-nighters ... sayonara!"
Congratulations, Bea! Aw, you guys, our smartypants Maddest Hatter's all grown up now!

Really thoughtful of Bea to glue an extra satellite dish to her lace skullcap for the wedding. You know how tough it can be to get mobile service in those old British churches...

DAVE! Place your bets, hatters: how long before Smiley Boyfriend DAVE becomes Smiley Husband DAVE? And will the wedding air on Oprah's cable channel???

Whew! Looks like it's not beige and gray for Bea from here on out -- so relieved to see a little wack-a-doo put back in her hattery! Doesn't this one look like it should be perched at a slightly steeper angle, though?
