When Princess Beatrice stepped out at the royal wedding, her hat became an instant talking point — and now you could own it for yourself.

The princess’ mother, Sarah Ferguson, has revealed that her daughter will be putting the hat up for auction to raise money for the charity.

“She’s putting it up on eBay to auction it for UNICEF and for Children in Crisis,” Sarah, the Duchess of York, said on The Oprah Winfrey Show on Wednesday.

Princess Beatrice, who is known for her over-the-top topper style, wore a Philip Treacy-designed hat to her cousin’s big day. The hat is estimated to be worth around $3300.

The 22-year-old princess received both best- and worst-dressed attention for her hat, which took the attention away from her Valentino haute couture dress and coat.
