The hat, a Philip Treacey creation worn by Princess Beatrice at her cousin Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding last month, fetched £81,000, or around $131,648, on eBay Sunday evening. The hat's eBay page, now unfortunately taken down, described the hat as a "unique sculptural celebratory headpiece in delicate tea rose silk."
The funds will be donated to UNICEF UK and Children in Crisis. There were more than 64 bids, according to the Guardian, including one from Australian children's TV stars The Wiggles.
"I've been amazed by the amount of attention the hat has attracted," the Princess said. "It's a wonderful opportunity to raise as much money as possible for two fantastic charities." The proceeds went to Unicef and Children in Crisis.
