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

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.

A repeater today from William and Kate's Big Fat Royal Wedding six months ago ... a nice shade of yellow, but still a bit too stove-pipey for my taste.

We've seen this particular repehat a ton of times, but this is the first time I've ever noticed that Anne seems to have hot-glued a scrunchie to the side of it...

I like this on principle, but it's a little too big for the lovely Margarita's petite head, I think.  Love the color, though!

Another brand-new hatter -- and a preview of an upcoming royal wedding!  This is Princess Sophie of Isenburg, who will marry Prince Georg of Prussia (that's him on the left) in August.  Welcome to the madness, Sophie!

This is ridiculous, and I love it.  I mean, this is Monaco, home of the circus and race car driving and tax havens and James Bond playing poker.  Finally, someone wears the hat version of a carnival!

LOLLLLLLLLL!  Please, allow me to translate this hattery for you all:

"FINE.  I will GO to this civil wedding, even though the whole thing is turning into a CIRCUS, because I'm GRACE KELLY'S DAUGHTER and I am civilized and elegant.  But EVERYONE should know that I'm only giving up the First Lady of Monaco role under EXTREME DURESS.  And I'm still the HEREDITARY PRINCESS of this joint until these two pop out an heir.  NO ONE SHOULD EVEN TRY TO STAND CLOSE TO ME."

Caroline of Monaco: I salute you!

More Canadian tour hattery from HM today ... call me crazy, but this one still screams "November" to me, not "Royal Ascot."  Here's hoping for something a little more vibrant tomorrow!

Sigh.  Really ready for the '80s odyssey to be over and done with...
