As soon as the wedding was announced everyone who paid even the slightest amount of attention was talking about the dress, and the flowers, and what the after party would be like and on the day itself every channel (with the exception of E4 - thankyou E4 you saved my life!) was showing approximately 6 - Yes 6! - hours of footage of the events. Thanks to a combination of E4 and the lovely internet I did manage to see exactly zero of said footage. *phew!*
The news over the last few days has obviously also been filled with stories about the wedding. There have been wild theories thought up as posted by the wonderful B-Man, but it seems that the biggest star to erupt from the wedding has been not the bride or groom, or even the brides mother, but a hat....
The hat worn by Princess Beatrice to be exact....
Ugly huh? The hat amassed fans (or rather haters) on facebook within minutes, spawned blogs and websites such as Princess Beatrice and her Hat and Princess Beatrice's Hat and countless news articles.
I think that this hat looks very much like the type of mirror used by the evil queen in Snow White... maybe she was trying to ensure that she was the fairest in the land?
others however have had their own ideas....
Then again, there no such thing as bad publicity...all the media interest must be great for Beatrice....She'll get offers for reality TV next...

I did watch the wedding and enjoyed it very much. I am a monarchist, though not a wedding enthusiast (I'd never get married myself!) I did respect the rights of the rest of my family not to watch it though, and did not gush about it afterwards or try to engage people in wedding conversation who plainly did not want to chat about it.
But that hat!! When it came onscreen my response was this: 'WHAT THE...!!!! OH... MY... GOD!!!!' I was thinking that Princess Beatrice wore the hat to divert attention away from her face, because bless her, she's not the prettiest princess we've ever seen.
Interesting, the things some people are happy to be seen wearing in public.
