      The "American hats" could alternatively be a reference to royal headgear.

          Is this an April Fools trick?

            Not in the least. I thought it was quite an easy one, but then I know the answer, I suppose.

            Okay, I'll give you some letters.

                        I know it's hard to say in retrospect, but was it really that tough?

                          I think making the hat singular would have helped with the spelling, but it's hard to know whether that would have helped. I was really very stuck on Victoria, with occasional desperate detours to South Cambridgeshire.

                              I've got it. You'll probably understand what I mean when I say I'm having difficulty formulating a clue using the answer (in particular the first word) in a not-too-obvious way.

                                      Well, that took a little less time to solve than my previous clue, thank heaven!
