Princess Alexandra's Wedding: HM Queen Victoria Eugenia of Spain

The lady in the lovely gold-colored poofy hat is none other than Queen Ena of Spain, another new historical hatter for the blog.  Ena was queen consort to Alfonso XIII of Spain; that makes her the grandmother of the current king, Juan Carlos.  She was also a granddaughter of Queen Victoria; and, as a Battenburg princess, she was related to the Mountbatten family as well.

I love this giant fluffy business of a hat -- kind of reminds me of this one, actually!
