The limited edition Kate Middleton Royal Engagement Portrait Doll – which was created to mark the future royal’s upcoming nuptials to Prince William – was launched by Hamley’s toy store in London yesterday. Only 5,000 dolls have been produced and is available for $195. It comes with a display stand, accessories and certificate of authenticity.
Lucie Follett, spokesperson for Champions of British Style, which launched the doll, said: “The catwalks this season show a feminine and elegant trend that is very much in keeping with that of Kate Middleton. Some commentators think we are seeing the beginnings of ‘The Kate Effect’, which could prove a huge bonus in promoting the best of British fashion and style to a global market. We have been thrilled by the enthusiasm and support of our designers and each in their own way has embodied the ethos of great British style in the creation of the Princess Catherine Doll.”
