Queen turns 96! On the occasion of Britain’s Queen Elizabeth’s Jubilee, Barbie is releasing a limited edition Queen doll, which looks absolutely adorable.
On Thursday (April 21), US toymaker Mattel revealed that it was commemorating the monarch’s 70 years on the throne with a Tribute Collection Barbie doll.
The popular toy company has unveiled the portrait of the Barbie doll that is based on the Queen’s look in a portrait released in 2012. The portrait was commissioned to mark her 60th year on the throne.
