5. Princess Beatrice’s Hat

The Queen donned a hat for the Opening Ceremonies, but it lacked the pizazz of Princess Beatrice’s infamous noggin topper.
6. Sophia Grace

Pint size YouTube superstar Sophia Grace certainly could have held her own next to Sir Paul on stage.

8. Madonna

Madonna is not British, but no one seems to have told her that. We’re guessing she’s pretty peeved about not getting an invite to sit between Kate and William.

9. Jeeves

Ask.com’s Jeeves could have helped tourists navigate his home country during the most web-friendly Games in history. Comeback denied.
10. Robert Pattinson

R-Pattz hasn’t had the most awesome week ever, so this Olympic-size snub probably didn’t help lighten his mood.
