Either way, the hat became a laughing stock and inspired its own Facebook Group ('Princess Beatrice's ridiculous royal wedding hat' which, at the time of writing had attracted 143,016 followers).
How does a Princess respond to worldwide hat condemnation?
Toss the hat on the Royal scrap heap? Get into the spirit and put the hat up for auction on eBay to raise money for UNICEF UK and Children in Crisis?
Beatrice chose the latter option and included the cheery message: 'I've been amazed at the attention the hat has attracted... I hope whoever wins the auction has as much fun with the hat as I have.'
The hat went for $123,390 this morning.

When things go wrong, or don't work out as well as we'd hoped, it's easy to give up. Sometimes, though, something can be salvaged, changed or turned into Plan B.
Next time you find yourself in a situation resembling 'Beatrice's Hat', before you ditch the idea entirely, see if there's some way that you can take the idea in an entirely new direction.
You never know where your recycled idea might lead.
