Princess reveals how infamous 'twizzler' hat wobbled


Princess Beatrice has been questioned about her infamous royal wedding hat - dubbed a 'turkey twizzler' - by an inquisitive eight-year-old boy. She was touring Berlin to promote the UK when he asked the Queen's granddaughter who designed it. He got the reponse; "A friend, Philip Treacy."

Princess Beatrice said she had not seen the hat before the wedding day in 2011 which some people also compared to a toilet seat and a giant pretzel. Beatrice also revealed the hat had been difficult to wear as every time she moved it wobbled.

The 50th anniversary of the James Bond franchise will be celebrated in a 007-themed sequence at this year's Oscars ceremony in February.
"We are very happy to include a special sequence on our show saluting the Bond films on their 50th birthday," Oscars producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron said in a statement.
There are 23 official Bond films to date, making it the longest-running and, with the exception of Harry Potter, most financially successful film franchise in history.
The announcement has fuelled rumours that the latest 007 movie, Skyfall, which broke the $1 billion mark at the box office, is in line for a best picture nomination.
