With summer(ish) and wedding season finally upon us, so is hat season. But if you're anything like me, you'll find it pretty hard to keep any sort of hat in place. I mean, we're still meant to be able to move, right?

So this season, I'll be attempting to pull off Princess Diana's hat trick. She was said to wear combs under hers to make sure her headwear never budged, especially the wider brimmed ones, which is pretty clever.

It's not been confirmed whether she bought hats with combs already in them, or added them in herself, but either way it would probably be quite easy to superglue some in.

A trick that will definitely come in handy the next time you attend a wedding on a windy day.

Princess Diana had many fashion secrets such as this one, which always kept her ahead of the game.

For example, she always held a clutch in front of her cleavage so that when she stepped out of a car, the paps wouldn't get a cleavage shot that would end up on the front page.

She also loved to pay tribute to loved ones with her jewellery, and always wore a charm bracelet with Prince Harry and Prince William's initials.
