Her Majesty the Barbie! During a Women of the World (WOW) reception at Buckingham Palace, Queen Camilla received a one-of-a-kind doll crafted in her likeness. The presentation on March 12, coinciding with International Women’s Day, was a delightful nod to the Queen’s dedication to gender equality and empowering women and girls.
The miniature Camilla dons a teeny version of the royal’s elegant blue Fiona Clare dress and Amanda Wakeley coat, capturing her signature style.
The Queen herself seemed tickled pink by the gesture, quipping, “You’ve taken about 50 years off my life—we should all have a Barbie!”
The mini-me was a tribute to Queen Camilla’s role as president of the WOW festival, an initiative that champions girls’ education and future opportunities. The doll even sported a miniature WOW brooch just like hers.
Part of Mattel’s Barbie Dream Gap Project, the one-off model brings a regal flair to the initiative’s mission to close the gender gap.
This isn’t the first time royalty has gotten the Barbie treatment. Queen Elizabeth II received a doll in her honor for her Platinum Jubilee, and now Queen Camilla joins this exclusive club. What’s next—a King Charles Ken?
