oh my, some of these people are still alive! princess anne = very 70s, lucy = distinctive. I think you should choose the lucy hat today.
ReplyDeleteI'm hankering after Dame Wendy's "Princess Dragomiroff" look, myself.

PS Princess Anne was quite trendy - in a sort-of-Barbra-Streisand way - in the '70s, but she's not naturally a "hat person", tbh.
Princess Anne is the one royal you don't hear much about here in the U.S. She must keep a low profile.
ReplyDeleteUnlike the younger Royals, she doesn't court the gossip columns - but she has always been known as one of the busiest/"hardest-working" in the family, attending hundreds of public engagements every year, so has always been well-respected for that. Jx
DeleteFab hats as always on your 'Say something hat days'
ReplyDeleteBut the look is all in the eyes and attitude.
Dame Wendy Hiller wins
She always would. Jx
