At official events, she appears in hats, like all the other ladies. I, like you, have also always wondered why the Queen, Duchess and other ladies of the royal family wear hats.
The royal title appeared in England as early as the 9th century AD. In those days, and until the 1960s, a woman was not supposed to appear in public with her head uncovered. This was considered an act of seduction (after all, what could be more beautiful than a woman with flowing hair?). Since then, a strict rule has been established for members of the royal family to wear hats. Since the late 1950s, headwear has ceased to be a mandatory attribute of all women when going out, but this rule has remained unchanged for official events.
For the royal family, there are certain dress code rules, which include, among other things, rules regarding headwear. In particular, the crown of the hat should not be too high to interfere with getting out of the car, and the brim should not touch the collar. Another rule is that hats are worn only until 18:00, after which the “royal jewels time” comes. Ladies can wear precious headdresses, especially if it is a formal reception. But even here there is a peculiarity: precious tiaras are only for married ladies! Knowing this, a gentleman will never allow himself to court a lady with a tiara in her hair.
