Happy Birthday, Queen Elizabeth II
Happy Birthday, Queen Elizabeth II

She’s celebrating sixty years of being on the throne this year (a Diamond Jubilee) and Queen Elizabeth II shows no signs of fatigue or of stepping down in favour of her son, Prince Charles.

Today, she celebrates her eighty-sixth birthday and looks as stylish as ever! I’ve always considered the Queen to be one of my favourite fashion icons and most of all, even though she wears the most bling and dazzling crowns, I particularly love her collection of elegant hats.

On her birthday, we’ll say “hat’s-off!” to the monarch’s style by taking a look at some of her more stunning ….well….hats….
