I really liked the hat with the feathers!
I understand what you are saying, and I concur, although I must say I also think that what kind of hat Sophie wears is not important/prevents her from doing an outstanding job.I actually think that Sophie looked lovely. The hat was also very nice, but I do not think it was appropriate for the event. I think a hat like that would be lovely for Ascot, for a garden party, a wedding, or perhaps Trooping, but, IMO, not for church. Perhaps I am just being too traditional. What you see from HM and Camilla are "working hats" as opposed to the wonderful "fun" hat that Sophie wore. Anybody concur?
Fashionwise, Sophie has become so much more interesting to follow in later years, in my opinion - and she only seems to grow prettier as the years go by.
It is as if she has grown into her role and radiates self-assuredness (in the good way) during the last couple of years and it is reflected in her wardrobe. She is one of the most interesting royals to follow with regard to hats - and this one is another great example of her interesting hat collection.
I agree with you about the neckline. My first thought was the neckline is too low for a church service. It would work for a garden party or Ascot during the day but not in church and certainly not in the Abbey.I am sure I am dating myself, and Sophie looked lovely, although the hat seemed a bit, well satellite dishish and too askew - but has it become the norm to wear such a decollete dress during the daytime for an official royal appearance with senior members of the family conducted in a church?
An evening function seems more appropriate for that neckline, IMO.

Hits the nail on the head does it not?
Priceless!
Glad you enjoyed it!lol Who could forget that?
But I loved the KH coat on her, it's an outstanding piece for sure!!
Mmmm...chicken.
With Sophie, the chickens have definitely come home to roost, this one on her head!
Love the colour, but the coat looks too big.
