A Barbie doll has been launched bearing the likeness of Queen Elizabeth to commemorate her platinum jubilee.
The Queen celebrated her 96th birthday on Thursday and this year celebrates 70 years of service as Britain’s longest-reigning monarch.
A press release from Mattel, the toy company that makes Barbie, says the Queen Elizabeth II doll is inspired by Her Majesty’s iconic looks.
The doll wears an ivory dress and a blue ribbon decorated with decorations, and the miniature medallions are inspired by the orders of the royal family.
The company says the crown is based on Queen Mary’s fringed tiara, worn by Her Majesty on her wedding day.
The doll will retail for $75 through various retailers, including Amazon and Mattel.
