This accessory was discussed among fashion critics with no less fervor than the wedding dress of the Duchess of Cambridge. This is the hat of the granddaughter of Elizabeth II, Princess Beatrice of York, in which she appeared at the wedding of Prince William. The unusual design of the headgear has become the subject of controversy and ridicule. At first, the girl tried not to pay attention, but in the end she put the hat up for auction.

The tea-rose headdress was designed by the famous hat maker Philip Tracy. By the way, he has more than 30 hats for the guests of the royal wedding on his account. The appearance of Princess Beatrice in this bow-shaped accessory, the ribbons of which resemble inverted screw horns, caused a stir among fashion critics - the hat was called a very strange and unfortunate creation of the designer.
To Tracy's chagrin, his work has already been compared to a huge toilet seat and dubbed "the biggest mistake of the year in the fashion world."
Later, interest in Beatrice's hat grew so much that a group dedicated to this accessory even appeared on Facebook. The community regularly features "photo-toads" using the image of a hat and jokes about Beatrice's lack of taste and other members of the royal family. Now the group has more than 140 thousand registered members.
Princess Beatrice herself said that she was very surprised by such an interest in her hat, but noted that it was the popularity of the accessory that prompted her to sell it at a charity auction.
The hat is now up for auction on eBay, due to close on May 22nd. As stated in the description of the lot, the proceeds from the sale of the unusual accessory will be donated to a charitable organization that helps children. Some visitors to the page wonder who might even need such a hat, while others are offering as little as $ 20 for it. However, according to some reports, hunters have already appeared who are ready to pay no less than 30 thousand dollars for the "hat misunderstanding".
In addition to the original hat on eBay, you can purchase copies of the accessory, as well as its mini-version.
