Princesses and Titfers...



“Where did you get that hat? Where did you get that tile?

Where'er I go, they shout ‘Hello! Where did you get that hat?’ “
Lyrics to Where Did You Get That Hat?
James Rolmaz, 1901
Famously performed by Stanley Holloway

“The only rule is don't be boring and dress cute wherever you go. Life is too short to blend in.”
- Paris Hilton

“Where did you get that hat?”
-  Prince Philip to Queen Elizabeth after her coronation, 1953

"Being a princess isn't all it's cracked up to be."
- Princess Diana
