Kates doll in wedding dress

A DOLL of Kate Middleton in her wedding dress has already gone on sale - just days after the royal wedding. The Franklin Mint previously released the 'Portrait of a Princess doll, depicting Ms Middleton wearing the blue dress she wore to announce her engagement. Now a 16ins figure featuring a scale replica of the new Duchess of Cambridge in her Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen wedding gown is on sale - for 180. Details include the Scroll Tiara loaned to the bride by the Queen, first presented to the Queen Mother by King George VI in 1936. Also replicated are the hand-applied floral laces on her bodice and the satin train. She even wears both rings - Dianas sapphire engagement ring and her new gold wedding band. Franklin Mint spokeswoman Samantha Wolf says: Although only 1,900 people were invited to attend the wedding and witness the nuptials first-hand, fans around the world can now commemorate the joyous occasion.
