HM and Kate teamed up again today for a visit to various sites in Leicester to kick off the Queen's Diamond Jubilee tour of the nation. (Prince Phil was on the team, too, but for some reason I can't even fathom, the photographers didn't pay him too much attention today, ha. Bet he LOVED it!)
HM's wearing a repehat today, last seen when she held court in a courtroom a year ago. But Kate brought out a new topper just for us!

And I, for one, absolutely love it! I mean, you all know how I feel about a structured beret! Something about this '40s retro chic look really works on Kate. I even love the little monochrome felt flower. (If you want to rate her entire outfit, head over here to Cambridge Chic!)

I think I like this -- not sure what the extra shelf-y piece is for on the side, but chic and dramatic otherwise. I feel like M-C gets the best of both worlds in some ways -- she's a member of a larger royal family, and she has the flair of a crown princess, but since the Greeks aren't a reigning house, she doesn't have to be as conservative.

Looks like Máx borrowed Bea's scarf from the last mosque visit, and Bea decided to go as Flora rather than Merryweather. You guys, I think the Scarf Cake Hat really is my new favorite thing. So medieval!
Well, that's it from this Dutch state visit -- stay tuned for more of Queen Daisy's Ruby Jubilee this weekend!

Now that's more like the Máx we know and love! How great is this dark pink hat with those lime green earrings? Love love love it!

Yet another of these Queen Alexandra-style chapeaux from Kate this Christmas -- I still don't like it, sorry, everybody. But this one in particular is really different from various angles. Behold:

Unflattering angle.

More flattering angle.

Most flattering angle of all. Still just not a huge fan, though.

At least one of the Yorkies brought a mad hat to this year's Christmas service. This truly isn't as mad as it could be -- it's more retro than bad, really -- but the hot pink cabbage flower does sort of push it over the edge, doesn't it?
(But hey, how great does her hair look?)

Flower-swap hat, dress from last year's visit to the US -- lovely all around.

I'm almost positive we've seen this shocking pink topper before, but I'm already late for work (eek!), so I don't have time to go archive-combing. Let the hunt commence, hatters!
(Also -- is it just me, or does the hat look just a smidge too big?)

Another repeater for a tour of flood-ravaged Queensland ... still don't like the frayed ends of the braid embellishment on this one.
But look! We also got a headwear two-fer earlier in the day!

I like that she's all casual and relaxed in her granny scarf, but still ready for spontaneous hattery at any given moment.
