"Australian children&amp;#039;s TV presenters The Wiggles have bid for Princess Beatrice&amp;#039;s royal wedding hat. The headpiece, which has attracted much attention due to its odd bow-shaped design, is up for auction on eBay until May 22. The Wiggles had offered \u00C2\u00A317,500 (US$28,300), but the bid has since been topped and is currently standing at \u00C2\u00A318,400 (US$29,700). &amp;quot;We wear some pretty crazy costumes on stage but this hat beats them all,&amp;quot; the Australian Daily Telegraph quotes Wiggles member Anthony Field as saying. &amp;quot;It could bring about an Australian republic all by itself.   &amp;quot;When we heard about the auction, we knew we had to bid. We&amp;#039;re ambassadors for UNICEF, and we think it&amp;#039;s great that Princess Beatrice has chosen to support children in great need.&amp;quot; Dragons&amp;#039; Den star Duncan Bannatyne had previously bid \u00C2\u00A35,000 (US$8,000) for the hat, while Philip Treacy defended his creation, claiming that Beatrice looked &amp;quot;gorgeous and beautiful&amp;quot;. &amp;gt; Photo highlights: The royal wedding &amp;gt; Video highlights: The royal wedding &amp;gt; Read our full royal wedding coverage "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
