The Queen knows how to choose a fabulous hat! For years we've been treated to a plethora of stunning headpieces from our wonderful Monarch Elizabeth - from vibrant pinks to sunny yellows and elegant blues. Her Majesty loves to adorn her hats with floral detail, adding that extra-special touch. The Queen certainly doesn't need to wear a crown to make her mark in the royal fashion world.
