The Many Hats of the Duchess of Cornwall

I saw the following picture of Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall (wife of Prince Charles for non-royalwatchers) arriving at Zara Philips's (granddaughter of the Queen) wedding today in Edinburgh, Scotland.

I'm not a fashion icon myself, but...THAT HAT IS ATROCIOUS! She looks like she has a clump of weeds on her head. I assure you I can find something similar looking out at my family farm... ok, well I could if it were spring and not blazing hot out here.


After seeing that, I went on a Google hunt to look at her other recent headwear. Surely she can do better, because 1) I haven't heard anyone else commenting on her ghastly hat selection and 2) She's friggin' royal! She afford some nice stuff.


Here is the fruit of my labor:

Her own wedding day on the right... and at the opening national Assembly of Wales in 2007 on the left. And yes, that is her wedding dress ... again... From the Daily Mail, "first she recycles somebody else's husband and then she recycles her frocks!" Burn!


So we've got lots of feathers...

... And more feathers...


At her actual wedding, I guess. I'm really confused between this dress and the one above. Maybe the one above was what she wore before she got in the ceremony dress? I don't know. I'm not a big royal watcher by any means.

More bloomin' feathers! I'm sensing a theme here....

Awww shucks! I guess feathers couldn't hold up all those diamonds.... but a ginormous tiara sure could!

Oh whew! I was beginning to wonder if she'd stopped killing chickens for her awful hats. Not to worry, chicken is still what's for dinner on this May day in 2006 at the wedding of Laura Parker Bowles and Hary Lopes at St. Cyriac's Church in Lacock Wiltshire, England.


So we've got BIG and FEATHERS...


































... And feather like at church in late 2009...














































Great. Now we're devolving into fur at the Wilshire Ambulance Service in 2008.

Those poor chickens had to die so she could look that stupid at unknown date.


Camilla, dear, if you're reading this, let someone else pick out your hats...



















... like whoever picked out these tasteful hats that your monstrosity is overshadowing... literally.

  1. The Queen's style is really the sign of the passing previous epoch!
