Kate’s much admired maple leaf hat for the 2011 Canadian tour was created by Sylvia Fletcher for Lock’s. A diamond encrusted maple leaf brooch lent by The Queen is just visible under Kate’s hair.

In 1849 a close-fitting, low-crown hat was requested to shield gamekeepers from low trees. Lock’s first asked Southwark Hatter Bowlers to do a prototype - hence the name. The dome is coated with hardened shellac.
