Commemorative Doll Appraisal

Diana ~ Princess of Wales A Royal Remembrance Doll

This item is a commemorative doll of Diana, Princess of Wales, as part of 'The Royal Britannia Collection.' The doll is presented in its original packaging, a clear plastic window box with a dark blue cardboard frame. The doll features blonde, curly hair, reminiscent of Princess Diana's iconic style, and is dressed in a white wedding gown, intricately detailed with lace sleeves and a full skirt. A long, flowing veil covers her head and trails down, characteristic of a bridal ensemble. She holds a small white bouquet of flowers with green ribbon accents in her left hand. A prominent feature of the packaging is a large, circular silver-toned medallion or coin-like embellishment situated towards the bottom right of the doll within the box, bearing the 'RB' (Royal Britannia) crest and textual inscription around its perimeter, indicating its commemorative nature. Below this, text on the box highlights 'BRIDAL TRAIN 2 1/2 FEET LONG' and 'THE ORIGINAL COMMEMORATIVE DOLL FROM THE ROYAL BRITANNIA COLLECTION.' The overall condition of the packaging appears good, with some minor creasing or wear visible around the edges, particularly the top left corner, suggesting typical shelf wear or handling over time. The plastic window is clear, providing a good view of the doll. The item appears to be an untouched collectible from the retail environment, likely produced in the late 20th century, possibly around the time of her passing or significant anniversaries, capitalizing on her enduring popularity. The craftsmanship of the doll's gown and accessories appears detailed for a collectible doll of this type.
