Britain's Queen Elizabeth is being honored with a Barbie doll in her likeness to mark her Platinum Jubilee this year.
Toy maker Mattel said on Thursday it was commemorating the monarch's 70 years on the throne with a Tribute Collection Barbie doll.
Dressed in an ivory gown with a blue sash and adorned with miniature medallions and ribbons, the doll also has a tiara based on the one the queen wore on her wedding day.
Queen Elizabeth, who turns 96 on Thursday, ascended the throne on the death of her father King George VI on Feb. 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 official Platinum Jubilee celebrations in early June.
