That hat

Blimey who would have thoughts hats could be so controversial?

Queens hat, Lenin Cap, Baseball Cap .

The Queen is above all that.
and that goes for the political wranglings too I would imagine.

She probably reads things out and inwardly groans.

I don't think she is anniebach - by all accounts she didn't like MT but her favourite PM was Harold Wilson!

roses - I doubt if the hat was heavy - lighter than the crown of course! She always wears high-crowned hats which, I assume. safeguard her hair. My hair is always flattened by any hat I wear.

Gosg she wire blue because she is a Tory

Some people think the Queen is making a statement by wearing a hat which resembles the EU flag.

Whoever designed the hat is no doubt having a chuckle having got away with his or her little protest joke.

The Queen is above all that.

Very pretty - the pearls dotted about to go with those in her ears, and her necklace.
Seemed to me she might be thinking "What a waste of my time this is. I want to go to Ascot. And it's hot.I'm not going to bother with the state carriage or those awful heavy regal robes and crown."

She didn't wear it to Ascot.

What hint was she suppose to be giving, think it was most suitable for Ascot

I love the juxtaposition with the European flag. It is the exact colour!!!

Bluebells it is certainly a hit on social media. The Queen knew exactly what she was doing. Bless her cotton socks!!

I loved the hat. The Queen is so well versed in protocol, dare we hope she is just a bit de-mob happy and sending a message?

It's a prett hat, but too large and unsteady weighing heavily on the British Sovereign Head.....it will have to go!
