It looks like that Beatrice's hat on ebay has been removed.
Last time I looked, there were 108 bidders on it, and it was going for £80,100.01. Then a notice came up saying they had withdrawn it. It was due to finish tomorrow - I was watching it just to see how much it went for!

Wonder why it was withdrawn, if it was geunuine that would have made a lot for charity.

It is a bit strange isnt it. I think it was genuine, but why withdraw it when they've got this far with it.

That hat is quite possibly the most ridiculous object ever worn on a person's head ;-)

Maybe the hat maker objected to his hat being ridiculed.

Well, I don't know what is going on here, but its been put back on and started all over again with starting price of £5,000, with it finishing on 31st May. 4 people have bid for it so far, and at present time its up to £5,6000.
So all those who want it can bid for it now! :D :D :D

LOL Muffy - you enjoy your tinky winky hat :D :D :D :D

Solved the mystery - just found a link to facebook site about the hat. Here's a message someone wrote who had bid on the hat.


"Princess Beatrice Royal Wedding Hat by Philip Treacy was removed from eBay for breaching of one or more of our listing policies. Any offers or bids that you placed on this listing are now null and void; you don't have to complete this transaction.

This listing was removed because it was listed incorrectly; therefore, the seller is free to re-list the item in the correct format. If you want to, feel free to bid on the item again if it's re-listed."

Well, the saga continues!
Its been taken off yet again, and reinstated for the 2nd time.
This time it finishes tomorrow, the original time and its bid is back to £80,000, although only 1 bidder this time.
Very strange goings on here!

The hat would look good with fruit hung on it,a couple of bananas and a few cherries would set it off just nice...... :-)
