text: It seems when it comes to royal fashion faux pas, birds of a feather really do flock together. Yesterday the Countess of Wessex and Princess Beatrice were not exactly fly-away style winners with their feathered hats as they joined the Queen at Windsor for an Easter Sunday service. Sophie, 50, wife of Prince Edward, wore a beret-style percher hat topped with large, dark plumes, while Beatrice, 26, the elder daughter of the Duke of York and Sarah Ferguson, opted for an unusual blue creation. With them, and sporting a slightly more subtly coloured hat embellished with a large rose, was Autumn Phillips, 36, wife of the Queen’s grandson Peter Phillips. Lady Louise Windsor, the countess’ 11-year-old daughter, made up the four royal ladies. Scroll down for video .
