Queen Camilla has been immortalised in plastic with her own Barbie doll, as she joked the toy made her look 50 years younger.

The doll was dressed in a scaled-down version of the same outfit the Queen was wearing during an event at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday: a blue Fiona Clare frock with an Amanda Wakeley black cape and Eliot Zed black boots.

Her hair was also closely replicated on the Barbie as was the jewellery which included gold earrings, a blue and gold bracelet and a broach on her cape.

"You've taken about 50 years off my life - we should all have a Barbie," Camilla said as she was presented with the miniature version of herself.

The one-off doll was created in recognition of her work supporting the Women Of The World (WOW) Foundation, a charity that looks at obstacles facing women across the globe.

The 76-year-old royal was handed the doll while on board the charity's WOW girls festival bus which made its final stop on a tour of the country at the palace where the Queen toured it with Mathilde, Queen of Belgium, and the Duchess of Gloucester.

As president of the foundation, Camilla gave a speech at the event, recounting the story of two suffragettes who broke palace windows with stones in May 1914.

The stones were then kept on the orders of Queen Mary, the wife of King George V - King Charles' great-grandfather.

"In 1914, I believe, they represented hope to the women who threw them, hope that, in the future, they would not be victims of their history, nor of the social and economic forces that were ranged against gender equality," the Queen said after holding up the stones.

"Above all, they represented the hope that it was possible, as Christabel Pankhurst (daughter of Emmeline Pankhurst) said, 'to make this world a better place for women'."

She added: "Today, 110 years later, you have been invited into Buckingham Palace because you too represent hope for women in the present and in the future."

Also at the event was actress Dame Helen Mirren, who received her own doll after being chosen as a UK Barbie role model by the toy's maker, Mattel, for International Women's Day on 8 March.

Her doll recreates the outfit Dame Helen wore at Cannes last year: a cornflower blue gown by Del Core, and jewellery by Bulgari, along with blue hair and a fan.

It is also clutching a miniature Oscar statue, in recognition of the actress's 2007 Academy Awards win for her role in The Queen.Spice Girl Mel B and former Olympic champion Dame Kelly Holmes were also recognised as some of the nation's leading women and attended the event alongside schoolgirls and others who have contributed to the promotion of women and girls.

So er prey tell me just what the fuck is "The Queen Of England"? There is no such thing!

Queen Consort Her Majesty Queen Camilla is Queen of The United Kingdom Of Great Britain And Northern Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and about 17 other countries!

I really wish you Yanks would learn that "England" IS NOT a synonym to mean the whole of The United Kingdom!

Saying "England" to mean the whole of The United Kindom is the equivalent to me saying "Canada" or "Mexico" to mean the whole of the North American continent!

Great comment! Well said!

Aye @UnfairRepresent is just your typical Yankee Doodle Dandy who can't learn that "England" is not a synonym to mean the whole of The United Kingdom Of Great Britain And Northern Ireland and referring to The United Kingdom as "England" is highly insulting to Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish people!

How would he like it if I referred to Joe Biden to be "The President Of Canada or Mexico" where the terms "Canada" or "Mexico" refers to the whole of The North American continent as that is what he is basically doing when he says "The Queen Of England"!

The title King can only come from being the monarch. Queen can come from being the monarch or the monarch's wife. If the monarch is a woman, her husband is just a Prince.

Which is dumb, but these rules are like 410757864530 years old and likely considered sacred and untouchable.

Elizabeth II was Queen Regnant (not to be confused with Regent) meaning she was the ruling monarch. Philip would have become King but the title of King technically outranks that of Queen, so it would be like he was the monarch instead of consort, so he was given the title of Prince.

When the monarch is male, then their spouse becomes Queen Consort (or Queen Dowager if she outlives him)

And if I recall theres been a debate over the years (like, decades before Elizabeth died) whether or not Camilla would or should be called queen.

Could have just been a not my queen thing though, similar to not my president.

So they're basically saying being King is more important than being a queen. They can just throw anybody in the queen role because it's meaningless, but if it's a man it has to be by blood because it's a much more important role.

No.
It's simply on who's on the line of heritage.
Elisabeth 2 was the daughter of the previous King, and Phillips married into the royalty.
She had the blood, but he wasn't.

Camilla doesn't have the blood either. I guess if Charles dies she'll become 'queen mother', but Philip couldn't have been 'king father' if Elizabeth died before him.

Her formal title is Queen consort. They just shortened it as queen just like Prince Philip was

She won't become queen mother as she's not William's mother. Diana would have had that title if was alive and married to Charles. She'll become Queen Dowager Camilla.

It's possible that Philip could have become the 'Prince father' if Elizabeth died before him, but a queen dying before her consort has never happened so it's just a theory.

If blood mattered for real The Netherlands wouldnt have a monarchy. The line stopped, didnt matter to them, someone else just took the name and title.
