Can someone solve the Prince Phillip hat mystery for me? I really don't remember him wearing the top hat with the feather (and I'm not a fan of it)?😕 I remember the one to the right very well! I've searched Google (I don't have the movie😔) and can't find a photo with him in the black hat. I really wish they would have him in the one that is so framiler from the movie. Sorry, he's just my favorite prince. I mean, the guy can dance and fight dragons...what's not to love? 😄
Perhaps they thought the original looked too Peter Pan-ish? Or Robin Hood-ish. - JustCantWait

😁 That's too bad. I really don't think anyone would mistake him for Peter Pan. The hats are similar, but still pretty different. Oh well. - Sweet_Irish_Cream 2550.6 #22 5:25PM
True SIC, especially if the hat were red...and slim. Very diff from Peters. - MomWithAJuiceBoxBuzz 922.2 #94 10:49PM
Yeah, why didn't they just leave him hat-less? So weird - MissMolly 696.5 #142 8:09AM
In all honesty though, someone should email Disney and ask - shadowgamer

I agree it looks horrible! - mcramos925 247.4 #1031 11:41AM
I was thinking about asking this earlier, too. I've complained about Aurora's sleeves before so I didn't want to complain about his hat. I'm just happy to know I'm not alone either :). - kss4tink

It's the great and powerful Phillip. He can pull out singing woodland creatures from his hat. ✨💫🎩 - Waites4DodgerEars

Maybe it was an improv for a cold head? - secretagentangel

How about we solve that with his own hat (the one on the right) 😄 - Sweet_Irish_Cream 2550.6 #22 5:00PM
I looked online and someone else posted pictures on their tumblr on Prince Phillip going through Pixie Hollow. It was in December and they too were confused on the hat and why he was wearing it. - Waites4DodgerEars

How funny. I knew I wasn't the only one. - Sweet_Irish_Cream 2550.6 #22 5:00PM
Ya as they put it, "Shouldn't he be wearing one of those Robin Hood hats?" - Waites4DodgerEars 659.2 #158 5:03PM
Haha. Exactly! He looks much better in it 👍 - Sweet_Irish_Cream 2550.6 #22 5:10PM
Prince Phillip. Two "L"'s. when we saw him several years ago it was a top hat. - sewedna

The hat is actually purple ( I'm guessing that Flora and Merriweather had a compromise on the color) and slants slightly forward but not at the extreme angle that it does in the movie. Probably just Disney's wardrobe designers liked it that way. If not, I answer 42. - shadowgamer

You are wise SG. I have no better explanation. - MyPark 944.1 #91 5:08PM
Which? The top hat is purple (don't think that makes it any better by the way😄). I figured it was Disney wardrobe messing with things, but it's just not my favorite adjustment...😒 - Sweet_Irish_Cream 2550.6 #22 5:14PM
Was referring to his costume hat. - shadowgamer 1954.3 #37 5:33PM
And he can sing! Lol - Minnieme79

I've also noticed that Snow White's prince has 2 different hats. He has a blue one that he wears during meet and greets and then a brown one for parades, though I do think he has 2 in the movie as well. Noticed it while moving photos around on Flickr. - shadowgamer

Definitely not a fan of the top hat on him, glad you brought this up - DarkwingHuck

He's worn the top hat four years. If you look at pictures from decades ago he's in a top hat. I personally hate it. Pulls me right out of any magic moment they are trying to present. - AWholeNewWorld

I know they have done it for years....but, that still doesn't make it right 😄 - Sweet_Irish_Cream 2550.6 #22 5:48PM
You are getting confused with Yankee doodle dandy. - madsdad

But it's such an interesting hat philliprocks 😃 - Tinkerbellmom4 296.1 #633 8:10AM
Meh his whole outfit is a miss for me. - DisneyMe2Death

I've always been disappointed with this. he's such a cutie in the movie and the hat is just not attractive! - Sarafina

I 100% agree. Phillip is my favorite prince but the hat just does not make sense whatsoever. I don't even think they had top hats in the Middle Ages when the story is supposed to take place. Way to go Disney for being historically inaccurate. And if Prince Eric can walk around without a hat, why can't Phillip? Uh oh, now that I've said that they might make Eric wear some sailor hat. - x2ndstar2therightx

Maybe.... it's too hard to make a hat of that shape? From the side the hats look somewhat similar-ish kind of...: http://bit.ly/159HU0W - Jenniferr
