I loved Camilla's elegant hat! I think there were pretty fascinators but Camilla topped the list for me...

 

[Curryong]

I love big hats, worn by women who wear them with panache! I think Camilla's hat in pale blue (lovely, delicate colour) is superb and so voted for that.

Well this was a tricky one, there are so many contenders.
The Duchess of Cornwall - both times
The Duchess of Westminster
The Duchess of Cambridge - June 11
The Countess of Wessex - June 11
In the end I opted for the Countess of Wessex June 11, it's something slightly different, pretty and very similar in style to one I remember the Queen wearing when she was younger.

I voted for Catherine's hat on June 11th.

So much artistry in hats these days. The Queen seems to have her standard favourite styles, I liked Lady Gabriella Windsor's but went for the somewhat understated Autumn Phillips'. I know I don't like Camilla's white feathery one.

Now this is my kind of poll.

I am all about the Hat and by that I mean real hats, not fascinators and cocktail hats.

1. Camilla's beautiful blue hat took the weekend for me
2. Lady Gabriella's hat her brown outfit was an extremely close second
3. birthday girl loved both her green and yellow hats

and there is too many good ones for my usual top 3

4. Lady Helen Taylor
5. Princess Anne

So many great hats. My favorite was the Duchess of Cambridge (11th), so she got my vote. I also liked the hats worn by the Duchess of Cornwall (10th) and Princess Beatrice (11th).

I guess I'm the only one so far who voted for Viscountess Linley's hat. I like it shape and the fact it's something different and original, yet classy and not too crazy.

You're right, I found her entire look striking, it had very vintage/60s vibe. From afar she almost reminded me of a younger Queen Noor who used to wear similar hats back in the 80s.

Duchess of Cambridge on June 11.

 

[Tilia C.]

I voted for Eugenie on the 11th. That hat really suited her, and I liked the colour scheme of those feathers very much.

 

[bertie5252003]

I voted for Sophie's blue but I loved the pillbox Viscoutess Linley wore. I thought Sophie's was really pretty.

 

[Humera]

My vote went to Kate's June 11 hat. I know the style seems to have been really popular this season and it was at Ascot everywhere but I love it. There's something very elegant about it.

 

[Valerie Rose]

I voted for the hat worn by Viscountess Linley, June 10: attractive, smart, suited her.
