Barbie is officially releasing a Queen Elizabeth II doll to celebrate both the Queen's 96th birthday and her Platinum Jubilee, which marks 70 years on the throne.

The doll, designed to capture the Queen's likeness, is being released on the real-life monarch's 96th birthday on Thursday.

Dressed in an ivory gown with blue ribbon, the doll features details drawn from the monarch's past. It wears a recreation of the tiara worn by the Queen on her wedding day, and pink and blue ribbons modelled after ones given to her by her father George VI and grandfather George V, the company says.

It is part of the Barbie tribute collection, which the company says pays tribute to "visionary individuals with an outstanding impact and legacy".

It was launched last year with a doll of American actress Lucille Ball.
