Royal wedding: Hats off to Princess Beatrice for her choice of headgear

There was a pleasing lightness of touch to the headgear at yesterday's Royal wedding which (future mothers-of-the-brides take note) should set a trend for the rest of the summer.

While the Princess Royal made the bold decision to go without a hat (well, she has always had marvellous hair, hasn't she?), the Queen and the Duchess of Cornwall, had clearly been in cahoots.

Were they hats or were they fascinators? No matter, both were feathered and in complementary shades of grey and duck-egg blue, Her Majesty's with a warm secondary brown tone.

Lightweight and modern, their hats managed to convey the dignity of a laurel wreath, frame the face prettily, and, most importantly, not mess with the hair: a perfect big-day solution for women of a certain age.

At the younger end of the Royal Family, Princess Eugenie, did stylish and elegant with her jaunty cream cap, but it was her sister Beatrice who stole the show with a magnificent, technicoloured butterfly-strewn headpiece. It was pitch-perfect for an early summer wedding and nicely complemented her tiered chiffon rainbow skirt.

Having recently suffered a tabloid drubbing for daring to possess womanly curves, Beatrice has refused to cower in the corner and showed yesterday that her head is in exactly the right place.
