Princess Beatrice's Hat on eBay

25th May 2011

If you watched the Royal Wedding in April, you will surely have noticed Princess Beatice's hat.

With a noticably different design, the royal millinary certainly stood out in the crowd, and sparked many a comment both on the day and worldwide afterwards, with the silk Philip Treacy creation being compared to antlers, a toilet seat and a giant pretzel.

I wonder what the guests sitting behind her thought?

With the Royal Wedding over, Princess Beatrice decided to put the now infamous hat on eBay, to raise money for charity. After a 9 day auction, with bidding started by Duncan Bannatyne of Dragon's Den fame at a bargain price of £5000, Princess Beatrice turned the tables on her critics when the auction ended at a whopping final bid of £81,101!

She has certainly shown that she has a sense of humour, and doesn't take the fashion critics too seriously.

All proceeds went to Unicef and Children in Crisis via the Little Bee Initiative, a campaign created by Princess Beatrice specifically for the auction.
