The beige Philip Treacy creation is being auctioned by the 22-year-old princess in aid of Unicef and Children in Crisis.
Australian children’s group The Wiggles bid £17,500, but now bidding has reached £20,200. Blue Wiggle Anthony Field said the headpiece, likened to a pretzel, could be used in the next Ashes series.
‘It would certainly distract the bowler,’ he said.

The unique headgear has been roundly derided, turning it into an internet sensation.
The Princess recently moved to defend the hat, saying she was glad that it had provoked such a response, even if it was mostly negative.
She writes on the eBay page: 'I've been amazed by the amount of attention the hat is attracted. It's a wonderful opportunity to raise as much money as possible for two fantastic charities.
'I hope whoever wins the auction has as much fun with the hat as I have.'
Treacy also defended the design recently, saying that he thought Beatrice looked 'gorgeous and beautiful' in the item.
The auction ends on Sunday.
