In her 70 years of power, Queen Elizabeth II has etched her place in history, gracefully navigating the twists of the past century while donning various roles – both literal and symbolic. “The Hats of the Queen” by Thomas Pernette delves into this intriguing journey.

In 1933, a young Elizabeth sits alongside her grandfather, King George V, adorned in a round, pink hat with floral hemming. Fast forward to 2020, amid the global crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the sovereign wears a remarkably similar hat. These two images, captured nearly a century apart, encapsulate a rich tapestry of politics, diplomacy, and fashion, vividly recounted in the pages of this book. “The Hats of the Queen” offers a captivating exploration of Queen Elizabeth II’s life and times through the lens of her iconic accessories, with a foreword by royal correspondent Alastair Bruce.
