At the marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton, one of Prince Andrew's daughters caused a stir with the peculiar hat she wore. At the time, I thought the single - dubious - virtue the thing possessed was originality. However, after a trip through the Alte Pinakotheke in Munich, I realise it even lacked that:
Beatrice's hat also has the distinction of looking somewhat like the grill of a Ford Edsel - a car reknowned as history's biggest ever automotive flop, apparently partially due to the fact that the grill looked a teensy bit like a ladypart...
ReplyDeleteShe was either a Capricorn or a social butterfly... maybe like Catherine Howard, though here they appear to have hanged her, rather than chopping off her head.
ReplyDeleteI like that car, Worm. There must have been more to its failure than that, surely.
ReplyDeleteI think she may have had toothache, Denis? And her husband decided to use her head as a perfect spot for a television aerial?
