London, April 21 (BNA) Britain’s Queen Elizabeth is being honored with a Barbie-like doll on the occasion of her platinum jubilee this year.
Toy maker Mattel said Thursday it is celebrating 70 years of the throne with a Tribute Collection Barbie doll.
Wearing an ivory gown with a blue sash decorated with miniature medallions and ribbons, she also had a tiara inspired by the one Elizabeth wore on her wedding day.
Elizabeth, who turned 96 on Thursday, ascended the throne after the death of her father, King George VI, on February 6, 1952. She is the longest-reigning monarch in British history.
The doll will be sold at Harrods, Selfridges and Hamleys in London ahead of the official Platinum Jubilee celebrations in early June.
