Norwegian royals and the tsunami in South East Asia

It looks a bit like the hats worn by Queen Alexandra of Great Britain... maybe she's bringing them back in fashion?

I think she has borrowed it from Märtha Louise, she wore the same or a very similar to the funeral of Count Flemming

More pics from the church service in Oslo with Crown Princess Mette-Marit. These are from Colourpress:

I kind of like the earmuff "hat". It doesn't cover up or crush her hair.

MM no doubt will champion a new style of non-hats.

I mean ... this thing brings to mind that feather creation she wore last year to Frederik's (or was it to Felipe's) wedding.

imho MM is the only one of the royal CPss's who has the pizzazz to wear such creations.

... she's continuing the wonderful Norwegian royal lady trend in avant-gard-ism vis-a-vis clothes patterning. Would like to know which of these two (Sonia or Martha-Luise) encouraged MM to these "concoctions"?
And if it was the other of these two to provide the affirmation of splendid style in this department?
