Princess Anne’s Enigmatic Hat: Breaking the Silence on Royal Wardrobe Controversy

Princess Anne, the steadfast royal renowned for her unwavering commitment and straightforward demeanor, has at last addressed the swirling rumors regarding her contentious wardrobe selection during King Charles's coronation.

Speculation had suggested that Anne deliberately adorned a hat featuring a tail feather to obscure Prince Harry from view.

However, royal expert Robert Hardman dispels these notions in his upcoming book, “The Making of a King, King Charles III and the Modern Monarchy.”

Hardman unequivocally dismisses the rumors as baseless, asserting that neither the Lord Chamberlain's office nor Princess Anne herself harbored such intentions.

In fact, Anne merely relocated to that particular seat following her request for a swift exit.

Engaging in a candid dialogue with Anne, Hardman delves into the truth behind the enigmatic hat.

Anne had previously broached the subject of the hat controversy with CB News, elucidating that her role as the Colonel of the Blues and Royals in the Household Cavalry Regiment necessitated her service as Goldstick-in-Waiting, the primary close protection officer.

“It resolves my attire dilemma,” she quipped.

Hardman's forthcoming book offers deeper insights into Anne's rationale, quoting her as questioning, “I inquired, ‘Are you certain you want me to retain the hat on, given its substantial size?'

The response was a resolute ‘yes,' leaving me no choice.”

Renowned for her tireless work ethic, Princess Anne was lauded as the most industrious royal in 2023, having fulfilled over 400 engagements.

Presently, she embarks on a visit to Sri Lanka this week, affirming her unwavering dedication to her royal responsibilities.

Notably, upon her arrival, Anne was observed carrying numerous bags, emblematic of her strong work ethic and hands-on approach.
