Happy New Year! We’re going to start a catch-up of royal hat happenings over the past week with a look at the results from our last poll. It was no contest, dearest readers- we have two very clear favourites for top new and repeated royal hats worn in October:
Queen Silvia’s greige felt hat with black striped underbrim worn during a visit to Germany, Oct 5
Crown Princess Mary’s royal blue felt hat with feather trim by Susanne Juul worn for the Opening of Parliament, Oct 3
Jump over to the bottom of the original poll posts (new hats here and repeated hats here) to look at the results in greater detail or to the Fan Favourites page to see a collection of your favourite hats so far this year.

Royal Hats 
Happy New Year, HatQueen, to you and your readers. Hope you had a chance to rest!
The top picks for Oct. 2016 are super. I voted for a few in both “New” and “repeated” because they were all good and it was hard to choose a “best”.
So happy Queen Silvia’s hat was selected for new design. I think she is stunning.
