This is just something fun, even though I know we’ve had a lot of royal posts in the past four days or so. It’s not my fault! The British royal family has been doing all of these events for the Queen’s birthday celebrations, and now the Royal Ascot has started, so HATS! So many hats. Prince Harry, the Dirty Ginger Snap, wore a hat! These photos are from today, the first day of the Royal Ascot. The Queen was there, Princess Beatrice was there, the Prince of Wales was there, and Harry was there.

The Queen chose a sunny yellow coat, which is a good thing because it looked pretty dreary and overcast there. She also looked so happy to be around her favorite people in the world, horses. And has anyone noticed something weird with Harry’s beard? I’ve enjoyed his beard enormously, and I think it makes him look older and more mature. But I like when it looks a bit fuzzy and long. He seems to be doing some kind of “beard fade” now and it looks hyper-groomed and gross. He also looks incredibly uncomfortable in these clothes.

Last thing: “Wildlife Presenter & Conservationist Anneka Svenska wearing the largest hat in Royal Ascot history made by milliner Louis Mariette,” per WENN. She wore the hat to “provoke conversation and change to improve welfare standards for race horses & cut deaths and injuries at all courses in the U.K.” That is some hat. How does one even walk?
