Princess Beatrice’s hat... yours for £80,000
BIDDING for Princess Beatrice’s royal wedding hat has hit £80,000.
Frantic interest in the hat crashed the eBay auction website page advertising it for a while yesterday. The deadline for bids is 8.30pm today.
Royal wedding watchers compared the Philip Treacy creation to a Turkey Twizzler, a toilet seat or a pretzel, but it now has thousands of fans on Facebook.
The 22-year-old princess is selling it in aid of Unicef and Children in Crisis.
She commented on the eBay page: “I’ve been amazed by the attention the hat has attracted. I hope whoever wins has as much fun with the hat as I have.”
