The Crown Princess of Sweden

Victoria's beautiful braided hairstyle is keeping the tiara firmly on her head.

Pinned on the right side of her dress is the royal order, with a little portrait of her father, King Carl XVI Gustav, trimmed by diamonds and set on a pale blue ribbon.

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.

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

Victoria again in the George IV diadem. It was said that King George the IV had the diadem made for himself, but he ended up never wearing it. Interestingly, a man has never worn this. Also, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother never wore this diadem.
