LOVE this color on Eug.  Great shape, too, though it does seem to be flattening her hair down into her eyes a bit.  B+ from me!

Trooping the Colour Hat Watch '10 rolls on, hatters -- it's anyone's guess whether these late May/early June hats are really out of the running or still possible contenders!  (Also, just as a possible extra help for our guessing: the hats for the last two years have both been aqua-colored.  Perhaps we'll get something other than blue this year?)

I love this one -- I'm so happy the Caribbean tour hats are getting another airing!  It's just the perfect shape and color.

The always reliable Mad Hattery Archives tell me that we last saw HM out in this little teal-and-black number almost a year ago, at the Royal Maundy Service.  I liked it then; I like it now!  And I must say, I am impressed that she's got a special scarf to match her chapeau-and-jacket combo!

(I have to admit, though, that there's one thing about this photo that's unsettling me a little: HM looks so much like my gran here.  It's eerie!  Perhaps I am closer to the throne than I ever dreamed?)

Just when I think I couldn't like HM's hats on this official visit any more, she busts out another winner!  I really love this hat -- I think the color is great, and I especially like the unexpected teal flowers with the black accents. 

Lovely!  Being Queen of Bermuda really does suit her!
