It will be presented in a box inspired by the styles of Buckingham Palace, made from a 3D ornate die-cut border framing the figure, and an inner panel showing the throne and the red carpet of the throne room.

The doll will be on sale at Harrods, Hamley’s, Selfridges, John Lewis and also on Amazon.
