What on earth is on the Queen's head? I have no words! Worst road- kill hat I have ever seen!

Oh, thank goodness! I thought it was her hair!

It!'s a fur hat, it's designed I imagine for warmth. Most woman where them or at least headbands these days. The Queen looks very stylish.

Ha ha Haven't seen many of these lately but a Queen can get away with it

Personally, I like it!

I like it, too. It imbues the Queen's face with a radiant glow.

Are the couple likely to be travelling abroad at all this year?

They have a State Visit to Germany in June.


I would also expect them to go to Malta for CHOGM.

I don't know about the 'whole' of Australia. I had heard this rumour a few weeks ago when I was visiting friends in Canberra, none of whom work for the government. They told me that it was in the works for either Australia Day or the Queen's Birthday this year according to a number of mutual friends they knew in various relevant government departments.


Philip would have known months ago as he would have had to accept the honour. The honourees are notified at least 2 months in advance with about 2 weeks to accept or reject the offer.
