The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are to be immortalised as a pair of Barbie dolls, toy manufacturer Mattel said.

They depict the royal couple on their wedding day, with Kate wearing a lace white dress and veil inspired by Alexander McQueen design she wore and Prince William in his red Irish Guards uniform.

The dolls, which are aimed at adult collectors, will be on sale from April to coincide with the pair’s first anniversary but can be pre-ordered now.

A spokesman for Mattel said: “Available in April, timed for their one year wedding anniversary, the gift set features the two wearing outfits inspired by their regal wedding day attire.”

The Barbie Collector Royal Wedding William and Catherine Doll set can be bought on Amazon for £99.99 (€119).
