Memetic Accessory of the Day: Since you were already planning on going as Princess Beatrice to your local meme-themed Halloween party, why not skip the homemade knockoff and go after the real deal?
According to Duchess Fergie, her daughter will auction off her infamous Philip Treacy fascinator to benefit UNICEF and Children in Crisis, though no further details are available at this time.

I don’t know how I could have missed this hat amongst the wedding madness!
I’ve decided Princess Beatrice is basically my favorite.
There just aren’t words for hats like these. Or actually, there are plenty, but I’m at a loss.

Prince Alexander of Yugoslavia: Do monarchs keep their titles when their country disappears?
While they may have lost the support of their subjects, former monarchs can always count on old friends. There’s a longstanding tradition that sitting kings and queens treat their throneless colleagues as though they still reign. Britain’s Mountbatten-Windsor clan, for example, maintains close relationships with several former royal families. (Of course, many of them are blood relatives.) In addition to the Yugoslavian crown prince, William and Kate have invited royals-in-name-only from Greece, Bulgaria, and Romania to witness their nuptials.

Even zookeepers want in on the Royal Wedding-mania
‘William’ and ‘Kate’ to marry on royal wedding day
Cape Town – Kate and William, penguins at the National Aquarium, are engaged to be married on 29 April, the same day as the royal wedding. “They love each other very deeply,” said aquarium communications director Gareth West. “Given their names, what could be more appropriate than a royal marriage?”
West insisted the marriage was not a publicity stunt, claiming the pair were actual mates, but refused to be drawn on whether other penguin weddings had been held at the aquarium. One keeper alleged the penguins were both male and were called George and Terence until late last week.

Beer is Banned from Royal Wedding | Beer Universe
No suds at the Royal Wedding (champagne and wine only, please), although pubs are apparently planning on serving over 100 million pints during the ceremony.
From the “misleading headline” department.
The British royal will wed his bride-to-be at London’s Westminster Abbey on Friday in a lavish ceremony which will be broadcast all over the world.
Mirren admits she feels sorry for the young couple and hopes they exchange vows behind close doors in a second, secret ceremony.

Grilled Cheesus, meet Princess Bean?
Seems Kate Middleton is having a Willy Wonka moment. Her image has turned into a Golden Ticket for a Somerset, England, man who claims he’s not only spotted the soon-to-be Princess of Wales on a jelly bean, but he’s selling the Kate-like Kandy on eBay!
When Wesley Hosie opened his jar of Jelly Bean Factory sweets, one mango-flavored bean stood out, he told The Telegraph. The speckles on the candy’s surface had formed a pattern that created an image of Kate Middleton, flowing hair, Mona Lisa smile, and all. “She was literally lying there staring back at me,” he told the paper. (Question: Wesley, what were you drinking with those jelly beans?)
Another man would have just popped the Kate-like candy in his mouth and gone back to watching the cricket match. But not Mr. Hosie, who has decided to take the jelly bean to the world, through eBay, where the starting bid will be 500 pounds sterling (about $800 and change). Next up, a Prince William chocolate bar? (via Kate Middleton Jelly Bean To Be Auctioned on eBay - Slashfood)
