Princess Beatrice's Hat Fetches $130,000 | Royal Wedding, Princess Beatrice
The hat that got a million tongues wagging â€“ the pretzel-shaped "Fascinator" atop Princess Beatrice's head on Royal Wedding Day â€“ has been sold to an anonymous bidder.

The price? $130,000 - but luckily it's all going to charity!

The 22-year-old daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York, had placed the Philip Treacy creation on eBay, to benefit two charities close to her heart: UNICEF and Children in Crisis, which was established by her mother.

It would make the Mad Hatter proud, but I doubt even Alice would wear it!

We're talking about the hat that looks like the symbol for the ancient Egyptian goddess of fertility? The Mad Hatter would rather kill himself than wear that thing!

I thought they wore these hats on purpose as a protest that their Mother was not invited...

Apparently their new cousin-in-law's fine fashion taste hasn't rubbed off on them! Maybe that was their after-thought excuse when they got such poor reviews. And I guess that even though Auntie Fergie and Uncle Andrew do "share" a house, she must not be Prince William's favorite aunt ...
