To mark the anniversary of the world’s longest-serving monarch, you could hang up some bunting, invite a few friends over, and raise a patriotic glass of Pimm’s to toast the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee (and the bank holiday). Or, you could purchase a limited-edition Barbie doll of the Queen.

The doll is being released to commemorate her 70 years on the throne and is part of Barbie’s Tribute Collection.

The Tribute Collection is described by Mattel as representing “visionary individuals with an outstanding impact and legacy within society”. It launched in 2021 with a Barbie doll of the late Lucille Ball, an American actress, comedian and producer, and it promises to release one doll each year.

This year’s Barbie of Queen Elizabeth is dressed in an ivory gown, sporting a tiara modelled on the one she wore on her wedding day to the Duke of Edinburgh in 1947.

The doll’s pink and blue ribbons are inspired by the ones given to her by her father, George VI, and grandfather, George V.

Plus, Her Majesty’s doll comes in a box based on Buckingham Palace, with the inside panel showing the red carpet and throne of the throne room – fancy!

Where to buy the Queen Barbie doll?

The Queen Elizabeth II Barbie Tribute Collection doll is being released today (21st April) by Mattel for her 96th birthday.

The Queen Barbie doll will also be available at UK retailers such as Harrods, Hamleys, Selfridges, John Lewis and on Amazon.
