When Princess Beatrice stepped out at the royal wedding, her hat became an instant talking point — and now you could own it for yourself.

The princess' mother, Sarah Ferguson, has revealed that her daughter will be putting the hat up for auction to raise money for the charity.

"She's putting it up on eBay to auction it for UNICEF and for Children in Crisis," Sarah, the Duchess of York, said on The Oprah Winfrey Show on Wednesday.

Princess Beatrice, who is known for her over-the-top topper style, wore a Philip Treacy-designed hat to her cousin's big day. The hat is estimated to be worth around $3300.

The 22-year-old princess received both best- and worst-dressed attention for her hat, which took the attention away from her Valentino haute couture dress and coat.

Maybe this was Sarah's means to be at the wedding - its big enough to hide behind!
i agree with'' thingirl'' a'' toilet seat with handles!'' to hold on to why you puke at the sight of that hat? she got what she wanted attention, like mother like daughter
I think with Cinderellas step sisters (Bettrice and Eugenie) and on the otherside Kates sister looking like snow white with six drawfs, they had a fairytale theme.
She looks like a cast from "ZENA, Princess warrior" or 'Connan the barbarian`s' wife.
I think that hat is the most awful thing I have ever scene Yuk Yuk
Please, no more publicity for this girl! She has obviously inherited her mother's lack of dignity and absence of real class.
It looks like a toilet seat cover and a fancy one at that!
I thought the hat was cool - definitely grabs your attention, kinda like a 1970's indoor tv aerial, yet graceful and in aesthetic proportion to the dress she was wearing. Perhaps it was intended as part of a lady gaga-esque modernization of what is an ancient monarchy... the influence of Diana, still in death, carries on its immortality into future generations...if you know what I mean
all that teeth,the makeup,the hat,,,she looks like Herman Munster,,,
Geez guys... What wrong with dressing up as a pink Ladygaga styled reindeer to the royal wedding?
