Princess Beatrice to Auction Off Wedding Hat on eBay

[Teh One Who Knocks]

By Hilary Shenfeld - People Magazine




Loved the fascinator that Princess Beatrice wore to the Royal Wedding? Now it can be yours – for the right price.

"She's putting it up on eBay to auction it for UNICEF and for children in crisis," Beatrice's mother, Duchess Sarah Ferguson, announced Wednesday during an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show.

For the April 29 wedding of her cousin Prince William to Duchess Catherine, Beatrice, 22, chose to top off her outfit with a blush-colored topper made by renowned London milliner Philip Treacy. The hat was so unusual that it instantly grabbed headlines, became an Internet sensation and became the focus on several Facebook fan pages.

Treacy, whose creations can cost around $3,300, told U.K.'s Daily Mail he designed the hat without any royal input. (Treacy also designed the electric blue hat Princess Eugenie wore to the wedding.)

"No, they didn't tell me [what they wanted] because I've known them for a long time," he said, "and I wanted them to look gorgeous and beautiful."

By Tim Nudd - People Magazine


Love it or hate it, the funky hat that Princess Beatrice wore to the Royal Wedding is proving to be worth a bundle on eBay.

Beatrice, 22, the daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, put the hat up for auction for charity – and the current bid on the Philip Treacy oddity is now £20,200, or more than $30,000.

"I've been amazed by the amount of attention the hat has attracted," Beatrice writes on the eBay listing. "It's a wonderful opportunity to raise as much money as possible for two fantastic charities. I hope whoever wins the auction has as much fun with the hat as I have."

Proceeds from the sale will benefit UNICEF and Children in Crisis. If you've been slow to bid, don't panic. Bidding ends Sunday at noon ET.

Princess Beatrice's Wacky Royal Wedding Hat Thingy Sells for Big Bucks on EBay
by Brandi Fowler - E! Online


As it turns out, Princess Beatrice isn't the only one with an affinity for crazy, bow-dacious hats.

The now-infamous fascinator the young royal wore to the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton sold for a whopping 81,100.01 pounds (roughly $130,000 dollars) on EBay when her auction ended Sunday.

So, who plopped down the big bucks for the rightful ownership of the over-the-top Phillip Treacy creation?

Sadly, we may never know—unless the buyer wears it, of course—since the auction winner was an anonymous bidder.

The good news, however, is that the money raised from the 10-day auction will be donated to UNICEF UK and Children in Crisis through Beatrice's Little Bee Initiative campaign.

Plus, we may never have to see that hat ever again. Whew.
