In our continuing coverage of what is on Queen Elizabeth II's head (see: hat-scarf combo, hairnet), we are happy to report that the pale pink confection Queen Elizabeth II wore on Wednesday at the Royal Ascot was really quite lovely.

So lovely, in fact, it looks good enough to eat. It sort of reminds us of frozen yogurt, which is making us hungry.

See the pics below and tell us what you think about the Queen's latest topper!

Ahh she reminds me of Robert Mugabe so much - only god will remove either of them from office as they both like saying often

You realize that the queen's "office" is purely a ceremonial one, no?

Ceremonial heads of state don't get taxpayer's money - and get to claim it without a vote either

A hat that looks like pesto sauce would be cool.

This is an especially lovely hat, very becoming on her and she looks to be in great spirits. I do have to ask, though, what the heck is up with all the bashing of the Queen's sartorial choices lately? She's in her mid-80's, I should think by that age she can wear whatever the heck she wants and still deserve your respect. Just sayin'.

She like Mugabe deserves respect for what exactly? Being an unelected head of state who refuses to let their "subjects" vote on the matter

She is a figurehead. Her subjects vote on their government just like any other democracy. Ever hear of Parliament, or the Prime Minister? She is nevertheless an older person who deserves our respect. Or haven't you experienced the depersonalization of age yet?

Comparing her to Mugabe just makes you sound like an ignorant fool. Sorry.

I do not agree.

Queen Elizabeth's hats are in the most exquisite taste. They do not overpower her. She wears *them.* She will also wear pale aqua in January when England is grey and cold.

What offends me about the Ascot coverage is that we human beings are so egotistical, an indignity has been overlooked.

Who is putting stupid hats on the thoroughbred horses?

If I may quote King John:

"Therefore, to be possess'd with double pomp,
To guard a title that was rich before,
To gild refined gold, to paint the lily,
To throw a perfume on the violet,
To smooth the ice, or add another hue
Unto the rainbow, or with taper-light
To seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish,
Is wasteful and ridiculous excess."

Perhaps Rex Harrison's Dr. Dolittle can give these humiliated thoroughbreds a 20th Century voice.

"“Well after all, Pickering, I’m an ordinary man,
Who desires nothing more than an ordinary chance,
to live exactly as he likes, and do precisely what he wants…
An average man am I, of no eccentric whim,
Who likes to live his life, free of strife,
doing whatever he thinks is best, for him,
Well… just an ordinary man…

BUT, Let a woman in your life and your serenity is through,
she’ll redecorate your home, from the cellar to the dome,
and then go on to the enthralling fun of overhauling you!”

Love the hat.....it looks yummy...and its great on her

But....in almost every picture lately, she is carrying the same black patent leather handbag
( correct me if I'm wrong ) along with the same black pumps with the little gold buckle.

Gawd knows...I love my well worn "comfortable" shoes ( pumps, sandals...etc) but, I'd like to see her in something different.

The queen may have problems with her feet and the black pumps are probablly most
comfortable for her. The purse may be one of many that she used and lookjs similar
to other purses. Please do not be critical of the queen. Thank You.

The queen always looks serene. Good for her.

It is a radical departure from her previous life long demeanor and it looks good on her.

Well if there can be an IPad hat then the 'frozen yogurt' hat isn't all that unusual.

I don't know who the Queen's milliner has been the last few years, but Her Majesty looks wonderful in her creations.
