Answered this some days ago . Bowler hats first went on sale in America between 1900 and 1910 , so that would suggest Edward VII.

Thank you Kay and Slaney, must have missed it. Not surprising seeing how many contributors there are to this site. Happy New Year to every one of them.
some circumstantial evidence -

Edward VII (as Prince of Wales) was first British Royal family member ever to visit North America (Canada - eg Prince Edward Island; and USA) in autumn 1860
