Princess Bea's Wacky Wedding Hat





Princesses Beatrice and Eugenia, 5th and 6th in line to the throne of England, and offsprings of Prince Andrew and former Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson (a.k.a. Fergie), caused a post-wedding uproar on their fashionista epic fail of "not so subtle hats" at Prince William and Kate's wedding. Princess Bea's hat in particular, popularly dubbed "the pretzel hat," has reached social networking notoriety based on its 10,000+ Facebook fan following on the page called "Princess Bea's Ridiculous Royal Wedding Hat ." What consequently ensued has been a series of creative photos with said hat appearing on random objects (Heck! Even I gave it a try. LOL) and even on heads of  state (no pun intended) and government officials. It has been all in good fun, and Princess Bea has been smart to strike while the fire was hot by auctioning her infamous hat on e-Bay with proceeds going towards her favorite sponsored charity - UNICEF.  So, if you are in need of a mauve colored pretzel hat, and have $10,000+ in your bank account, be sure to go on e-Bay and bid on THE hat!

Update: Princess Bea's hat sold on e-bay for 81,000 British Pounds (or $130K USD).  Way to go, Bea!
