That hat

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

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?

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

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

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

She didn't wear it to Ascot.

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."

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.

Gosg she wire blue because she is a Tory

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.

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

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.

Blimey who would have thoughts hats could be so controversial?

Queens hat, Lenin Cap, Baseball Cap .

Doesn't mean she isn't a Tory Jalima, I respect May's dignity , like Ken Clarke and enjoy listening to Rees Mogg, dislike Corbyn and McDonald ,Abbott and Thornbury but I am not a Tory

Oh come on folks the queen is a very astute woman she knows exactly what's she's wearing and why she's wearing it She can't come out and say things so she's giving a signal And no it's nothing to do with being a Tory She's not daft, no hat maker would dare pass something like that off unless she had expressly asked them to do it

Its not a signal of any kind - its a hat sigh....

Haha! Just a pretty colour and co-incidence is all.
If you want to get ahead, get a hat.

I serge it's a hat not a bloody flag

It is a pretty colour Rose isn't it shall we all debate exactly what that is [laugh]

why not Nana ?( as we seem to have time on our hands.)
I will kick off with... British Cornflower Blue!

ooooooh nice one Rose , I counter with Gentian Violet

They're flowers. With yellow stamens. Most flowers have yellow stamens. #nothinglikethebloodyflag

Forget-me-nots? A message?

The forget- me-nots in my garden weren't that vibrant Jalima. I think those have been air brushed.
