Christmas gift ideas: Prince George porcelain doll, anyone?
What to buy for the person who has everything this Christmas? A Prince George bisque porcelain doll, that’s what. The hand-painted, 3D copy of the future King comes clad in a christening gown with lace, chiffon and satin ribbon. Designed by Italian doll artist Fiorenza Biancheri, the limited-edition ornamental child is a steal for just £129.99. The 20in-long (51 cm) replica of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s baby boy even has ‘poseable’ arms and legs and arrives with a Certificate of Authenticity.
A spokesman for The Bradford Exchange, which is selling the doll, said: ‘The interest we have received for the Prince of Cambridge Commemorative Baby Doll has been immense – so much so that we have had to make sure we will have enough hand-crafted dolls in January to meet the demand. Fiorenza Biancheri’s award-winning style provides the beautifully sculpted, exact likeness of Prince George. This is a Christmas item to honour and celebrate the momentous Royal birth of Prince George.’
