For the little princess (or prince) who has everything...here's the Barbie doll version of Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge.
Toy giants Mattel announced today that they are launching the plastic figures to celebrate the Royal couple's one-year wedding anniversary in April.
Available to pre-order for the princely sum of £99.99, the Wills and Kate figurines follow in a long line of other public figures, including Harry Potter author JK Rowling, tennis player Kim Clijsters and Grace Kelly, who have been immortalised by the U.S. toy manufacturer.
Each plastic model, measuring 11.5 inches tall, comes dressed in full wedding costume replicating the originals worn at Westminster Abbey for the April 29 nuptials.
The Catherine Middleton dolls wears a floor-length ivory gown, with a lace torso and full skirt - a miniature version of the Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen royal wedding dress - and a posy of seasonal flower is held in one hand.
Her look is completed with a delicate ivory veil, sparkling tiara and matching drop earrings.
Prince William is dressed in his specially commissioned scarlet Irish Guards colonel's uniform topped with a blue Order of the Garter sash stitched with the RAF wings.
The Barbie collector William and Catherine royal wedding gift set, will be released on April 7 and is currently available to pre-order via Amazon.
