MEET QUEEN BARBIE

-

THE Queen has been turned into a Barbie doll to celebrate her Platinum Jubilee.

Her Majesty’s doll was revealed by toymaker Mattel on her 96th birthday last week.

It’s a limited edition and forms part of the Barbie Tribute Collection, which celebrates people who have made an incredible and lasting impact on the world.

The royal Barbie wears an elegant ivory dress, along with a blue ribbon featuring decoration­s of order (medals to honour someone’s service) and a special brooch known as the Garter Star, which is thought to date back to the late 17th century. The doll also features Queen Mary’s Fringe Tiara, famously worn by Queen Elizabeth II on her wedding day to Prince Philip.

The Queen hasn’t commented on her special Barbie lookalike, but we’re sure one would approve, don’t you think?!
