Okay, now to the hats! The hats attended Easter service at Windsor, bringing the usual assortment of royals along with them.
The Queen set a literal shining example in her daffodil coat with bright gold buttons and bright gold brooch (the Frosted Sunflower, one of her favorites). A carrot-clad Princess Royal rode with her parents in the car to church on this windy Easter day, a privilege I assume is afforded first to those at greatest risk of a flying hat disaster.
Carrying the bright color torch for the family members on foot were the Countess of Wessex and Autumn Phillips.
I'd scoop up that pink coat in a heartbeat, and while I have my quibbles about Sophie's coat/dress pairing, I definitely like both pieces individually.
Toning down the color a bit were Princess Eugenie, Lady Louise Windsor (sporting a horse charm necklace that must have made her granny smile), and Princess Beatrice.

I do love a belted coat. The soft pink of Eugenie's hat pushes her up next to Autumn Phillips as my dual Easter favorites. (I definitely just wrote duel Easter favorites, and now I think that's a movie I want to see.) Beatrice, though, is managing to do the trench coat + hat thing without looking like she's just in from the rain or just out from her latest detective drama (speaking of movies I want to see), and that's an achievement on its own. A solid Easter showing from the Windsors, don't you agree?
