Move over Sarah Ferguson, there’s a new royal hat meme-inspirer in town.
Spain’s Queen Letizia showed up to King Charles III’s coronation in London on Saturday wearing a headpiece that soon went viral on social media.
Wags on Twitter joked the wide-brimmed piece looked like a lampshade, among other household items.

One commenter cracked the former journalist had put a satellite dish on, but upside down:
Letizia, como buena periodista, lleva una parabólica para tener buena cobertura. Pero se la ha puesto al revés! pic.twitter.com/nqC49WmC0D

Another referred specifically to an IKEA lampshade:
Lleva una lámpara de IKEA en la cabeza 🤣

Others used images to illustrate their thoughts:
Ese sombrero es lo más parecido a la tulipa de una lámpara de cocina del año la bomba. pic.twitter.com/HkNZn9OZlV
