Royals are synonymous with both hats and dogs — so it’s a no-brainer for a milliner to the royal family to combine both for an auction making a difference.

“We’re so excited to give the public the opportunity to own one of these incredible pieces of art, all in aid of dogs in need. It’s guilt-free shopping at its best,” says Golding, who has raised over $16,000 (so far!) for Thailand-based charityJai Dog Rescuethrough calendar sales alone.

Not only can members of the public buy a calendar and bid for a hat, but the dogs themselves are also looking for their forever home.
