Last year’s wedding of Prince William to Kate Middleton inspired the fantasies of millions of little girls around the world. Now, they can play out their dreams with Royal Wedding William and Catherine Barbie dolls.
The figurines wear replicas of the clothing that the real William and Kate wore on their wedding day, even though their faces are more Barbie and Ken than Duke and Duchess.

The faux-duchess even has a lace veil, diamond earrings and sparkling tiara. William’s red Irish Guard uniform is decorated with a royal blue sash, metallic cummerbund, golden buttons and medallions.

"William and Catherine are like a modern day Barbie and Ken," a Mattel spokesman told TODAY.com. "The dolls fit well into the Barbie Collection as their wedding was a royal moment in time that will be forever immortalized through Barbie. As a fashion icon, it is only appropriate that Barbie would pay tribute to this unforgettable fashion moment."
