Princess Beatrice to auction off royal wedding fascinator
Wish you could own only the most ridiculous fashion item of the year?
That’s right, Princess Beatrice is auctioning off her gravity-defying Philip Treacy fascinator – an accessory so ridiculed that it boasts numerous Facebook pages, including such fan favorites as “Beatrice's Hat: What is it and what can it be used for?” and “The reindeer at Will & Kate's wedding - LOL JK, it was just Beatrice's hat.”
The exciting announcement was made by Beatrice's mother, Duchess Sarah Ferguson – who was not invited to the royal wedding – during a Wednesday appearance on “Oprah,” according to People magazine. "She's putting it up on eBay to auction it for UNICEF and for children in crisis," Fergie said.
While sporting the shocking chapeau may not have been the wisest maneuver (and let’s not even get into the raccoon-esque eye makeup), no one can argue with this move by risk-taking princess: charity.
The hat that made such a splash at the royal wedding, Princess Beatrice's fascinator, is now up for auction. NBC's Michelle Kosinski reports.
Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, speaks out about not being invited to the wedding of her nephew, Prince William, saying "it was so hard, because the last bride up that aisle was me."It was "difficult" not to be invited to last month's royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton, Sarah Ferguson told Oprah Winfrey.
In an interview scheduled to air Wednesday on "The Oprah Winfrey Show," the Duchess of York says she instead went to Thailand. Ferguson says she wanted to be with her daughters, who attended the wedding with their father and Ferguson's former husband, Prince Andrew.
Ferguson also told Winfrey she believes Prince William's mother, the late Princess Diana, "would be so proud of her son."
Ferguson is to have a show on Winfrey's new cable station, OWN. Winfrey is ending her talk show this month after 25 years.
Last May, Ferguson talked to Winfrey about being caught on video offering access to Prince Andrew for $724,000.
