As we discovered, Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice were both royal hot messes at the wedding of Kate Middleton and Prince William (their first cousin). I suspect that fug fashion sense is in their blood – after all, Fergie is their mother, and she has never been known for her righteous styling. Eugenie and Beatrice’s fug seemed a little “extra” though, especially when you took into account their enormous hats/headpieces/fascinators. Beatrice’s headpiece was especially epic and Lady Gaga-esque. Anyway, their hat designer, Philip Treacy, has given an interview to Hollywood Life where he defends his creations and the two princesses, and basically boils it down to “haters gonna hate, royal style.”

Immediately following the Royal Wedding on April 29, Facebook and Twitter filled with ridicule for Princesses Beatrice, 22, & Eugenie, 21, “ridiculous” hats. But HollywoodLife.com spoke with Philip Treacy, the man behind the royal creations, at the premiere of L’Amour Fou in NYC on May 1 and revealed what he had in mind when designing the colorful and feathery toppers for the daughters of Prince Andrew Duke of York and Sarah, Duchess of York.

“My inspiration was beauty and elegance it’s a 21st century royal wedding,” Philip told us at the screening hosted by designer Vera Wang. “No, they didn’t tell me [what they wanted] because I’ve known them for a long time and I wanted them to look gorgeous and beautiful. They trusted me to make them. Gorgeous and beautiful can be open to interpretation … I thought they looked gorgeous and beautiful. But no one is crying if anyone didn’t.”

Beatrice’s intricate bow-like hat, matched her taupe Valentino Haute Couture dress. While her older sister’s royal blue fashion statement sat perched on her head complete with purple flowers and large white feathers.

“How a hat makes you feel is what a hat is all about,” Philip says. “It’s about making you feel a million dollars so when you’ve got something beautiful on your head and the head is the most important part of the body to embellish, because it’s what you meet. When you’re wearing something on your head you feel beautiful.”

So friggin’ English. “I thought they looked gorgeous and beautiful. But no one is crying if anyone didn’t.” He can’t just say, “Some people didn’t like the hats, but I loved what I created.” Of course not. He has to talk down to all of us peasants who simply didn’t “get” the genius of the hats. “No one is crying” if we didn’t “get” it. Pish posh. Crumpets. Sniff.

Well, was Chelsy Davy the worst dressed girl at the wedding, or was it Princess Beatrice? Or Princess Eugenie? Both looked pretty rough, in my opinion, but no one compares to Samantha Cameron (the PM’s wife) for Worst Dressed in my eyes. Sam wasn’t wearing a hat, her dress was unflattering (bordering on fug), and she looked like she just rolled out of bed. But back to the princesses. Yikes.

Beatrice wore tan-beige, with a ginormous… headpiece. I can’t call it a hat, and it’s not a fascinator, in my opinion. It’s just a fug headpiece, and I do not care for it. The suit is rough too – too much doily action happening at the collar.

As for Eugenie… I know what she was aiming for, and… well, she’s young. She’ll learn. This color is difficult to pull off, and it’s not a color that screams “classy, princess-y.” It looks more like cruise-wear. Tropical. Too turquoise. Too puffy. And the headpiece/hat… ugh.

I also included some photos of Bea and Eugenie at last night’s dinner at the Palace. Both girls looked so much better in their evening-wear:

Star Magazine reports that there is another royal wedding coming up, but don’t expect the same hysteria as that surrounding Prince William’s. In fact, this royal wedding wasn’t even allowed to be announced until Prince William’s was.

So congratulations to Princess Beatrice, the 22-year-old daughter of Prince Andrew and Fergie (the Duchess, not the Black Eyed Pea). She is engaged to her boyfriend of four years, David Clark.

David is the astronaut relations head at Virgin Galactic. How cool a job is that?

“Bea and Dave are closer than ever,” a source says of the couple, who actually got engaged before William and Kate but have been required by royal protocol to let the other duo make their announcement first. “But they didn’t mind waiting to celebrate, since they’re not planning to wed until 2012.”

At the top of the guest list? Probably Wills himself, since he introduced them!

Beatrice has had a rough year, after her mother Sarah Ferguson faced bankruptcy and a bribery scandal. An insider told Britain’s Now magazine, “Bea’s had quite a tough year. But Dave’s been there cheering her up and making her smile.”

Beatrice is fifth in line to the throne of England. Plus, she probably gets a window seat on Virgin’s first trip to space, which is cooler in my mind.

Princess Beatrice has been left red-faced and without a vehicle after a thief took off with her three year-old BMW 1 series when she left the keys in the ignition to just drop into a shop. The 20 year-old University of London co-ed was out with a bodyguard and probably felt like her car was safe when she left it for a moment, only to have it stolen. She called her 18 year-old sister, Eurgenie, to come pick her up after the car went missing. The princesses waited at a bar before the police arrived:

She may officially be the cleverest Royal but Princess Beatrice’s BMW has been stolen after she left the keys in the unlocked car’s ignition while out shopping.

When the princess came out of the store, she discovered her BMW – given to her as a 17th birthday present by her father Prince Andrew – had vanished.

Her police protection officer had gone into the shop in Kensington, south London, with her, leaving the car unattended.

Passers by looked on as the BMW 1 Series with personalised number plates was driven off by a thief at high speed and in broad daylight.

Have you had anything stolen that you didn’t lock up because you felt like it was safe? When I was around Beatrice’s age I had a bag stolen out of my car at a park. It was a new car and I totally forgot to lock the back door. At the time I really didn’t have to admit that to anyone except the police and my family, though. Poor Beatrice now has the whole world knowing that she got careless and had her car swiped. It even had custom license plates so she probably assumed no one would be that bold.
