Royal Fashion Friday: Hats at St Paul’s Cathedral

Last Friday, Queen Elizabeth and her family joined the commemorative service to honor British personnel who served in Iraq. For the solemn occasion, the British royal ladies donned neutral, somber colors and kept their hats in the more traditional range. The royal men came in military uniform, as did Princess Anne, who holds honorary military appointments.

Queen Elizabeth’s gray coat decorated with black flowers, and matching hat set the mood for the fashion of the day:

Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, had the teeniest dash of color in dark green. The single feather on her hat just kept it from becoming boring. I love this coat!

Sophie, Countess of Wessex, kept to a gray palette. This is a hat that we’ve seen more than once before.

Princess Anne proudly wears her military uniform:

Then we have husband and wife, the Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, in a nice-looking hat with what I’d guess are very fine feathers.

The rest of the royal gents wore hats in accordance with their military uniforms.

Prince Charles, and Prince William:

Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex:

And I have to show Prince William again, here accompanying Camilla, just cause he cuts such a dashing figure.

The service they attended was held at St Paul’s Cathedral, and was officiated by the Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams. Also present were Prime Minister Gordon Brown, veterans and the families of the 179 British men and women who were killed in action in Iraq, and former Prime Minister Tony Blair. In April 2009, the British government officially ended combat involvement in Iraq.

Princess Anne Opens St John Ambulance Youth Center

Maricar Macalincag — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 02:17:51 +0000

Princess Anne met with young people at the opening of the new youth center for the first aid charity St John Ambulance. The center offers opportunities for the youth to engage in a variety of new sports and activities, including climbing and archery.

Princess Anne is one of the busiest, if not the busiest, of the British royals. She has engagements on most days of the week, sometimes even more than one per day. Yet she rarely gets widespread press coverage for the events she goes to. She simply goes on with her job, meeting with people and supporting various organizations around the U.K. She is a no-fuss, no-muss working royal, one to be admired for her dedication and commitment. I’m sure these kids were thrilled to meet her.

Zara Phillips was right at home while competing at the Festival of British Eventing this weekend. The champion equestrian was in fine form at Gatcombe Park, where she also resides with boyfriend Mike Tindall.

Zara’s mother Princess Anne, Mike and some of their friends were on hand to watch Zara compete in the cross-country and show jumping events. Zara didn’t ride Toytown, her champion horse, at this meet. In today’s competitions, she rode Secret Legacy instead.

Ladies Day, the third day of Royal Ascot, is one of the highlights of the event that combines British horse-racing and fashion in a signature way. It is the ladies’ day to shine with the most unique hats seen anywhere.

Queen Elizabeth was very stylish in her blue and white combination. Here she is arriving with Prince Philip today, June 18, 2009:

Video: Princess Anne in Australia

Last week, Princess Anne represented Queen Elizabeth at the memorial for the victims of the fires in Australia. The national service was held at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on February 22, 2009.

The Princess Royal read a message from the Queen during the memorial service, which said in part:

"Although a little daunted, when faced with the scale of loss, and the physical and mental impact that these bushfires have made and are still making for Victoria, individuals and towns have responded with resilience, ingenuity, courage and selflessness to situations that were changing at terrifying speed”

The Queen and her family have expressed their condolences for the tragedy. They have also signed the official condolence book at Australia House in London.
