Royal Barbie Dolls

I still just love Barbies, with their tiny cute little outfits and super glamorous clothes! There are even really nice upscale Barbie Dolls with "silkstone" faces, which are more finely featured that the normal vinyl dolls are, and look a lot more like the actual people.

Here are some super cool royalty Barbies! I wish I had some of them.

Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden Barbie.

Empress Josephine of France Barbie. This thing is apparently very rare, it sells on Ebay for upwards of $800!

A beautiful Queen Marie Antoinette of France Barbie. She has one of those fine silkstone faces.

Another Queen Marie Antoinette Barbie.

A Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge Barbies. William looks a bit funny, as his head is pretty large in relation to his body.

The famous post wedding kiss of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

A lovely Grace Kelly Barbie in a flowered dress.

Another Grace Kelly Barbie, I think this one is from the film To Catch a Thief, but correct me if I'm wrong.

Grace, Princess of Monaco wedding day Barbie.

A luxurious Queen Elizabeth I Barbie.

Pearl and Diamond Diadems


The grand pearl and diamond diadem of the Empress Eugenie of France, the last Empress or Queen of France, who died in 1920.

A large Russian aigrette-style tiara, with tall, feather-like diamond tendrils coming out  of the tiara base. Large brioche diamonds dangle from each tendril.

A diamond and pearl tiara that also converts into a necklace



A diamond and pearl tiara originally belonging to Princess Marina, the Duchess of Kent. It  is now in the collection of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent.

An oriental pearl and diamond Russian diadem, which went up for auction when the Communist party of Russia auctioned off the Tsarist Crown Jewels.

An oriental pearl, button pearl, and diamond tiara. I saw this tiara in a fashion shoot in a magazine, and it was placed far back on the model's head around a low bun.
