Why Queen’s Hat Is Creating A Controversy

Queen’s headgear, which had striking resemblance with EU flag, is making people wonder if the queen is pro Brexit or anti? 


Coincidence or a subliminal message? Britain’s Queen Elizabeth stirred up social media on Wednesday when she opened parliament in a hat looking very much like a European Union flag.
 
Delivering a formal speech in which Prime Minister Theresa May’s government laid out its strategy for exiting the EU, the monarch sported a blue chapeau decorated with an arc of blue flowers each with a bright yellow disc at its centre. It was all a bit Brussels and Strasbourg, where the EU flag — a blue ensign with a circle of yellow stars on it — holds pride of place, “Queen delivers speech outlining Brexit plans wearing a hat that looks suspiciously like a EUROPEAN flag,” the right-wing, anti-EU Daily Mail newspaper tweeted.
Others on Twitter created composite pictures, with one half showing Elizabeth wearing the hat, the other showing the flag.
 
Some thought it might have been deliberate on the queen’s part. “A bit like her insisting on driving the Saudi king! Subtle royal politics,” Simon Hix, political science professor at London School of Economics tweeted. As head of state, the British monarch refrains from taking public positions on political issues.

It is perhaps a mere coincidence I think. Then it may be done intentionally as well but it''s only her Majesty who knows the truth.

I think it is a mere coincidence. I think so it is a very silly controversy. It looks good on her. It is not any subliminal message because the queen is a human with a very pure heart.

I feel that there''s no political tactic that the hat is resembling. She''s the Royal Highness and so,her clothing should be entirety unique. I wonder why people love to top each and everything with politics.

Sharmeen Khan PADUA HIGH SCHOOL-MANKHURD

That, only Her Majesty can tell. People saying that it is a mere coincidence should know that it can also mean a strong support towards the issue. However it will be totally wrong to say that, without the queen''s spokesperson confirming it.

Might be a coincidence or it was done intentionally. This is something only her highness knows.
