Prince William and Kate Middleton Royal Wedding Dolls: Too Creepy for Child’s Play?
Prince William and Kate Middleton dolls
Check out the Prince William and Kate Middleton royal wedding dolls in the photos below. Are the William and Kate dolls a little too creepy for children?
Will kids want to play with Prince William and Kate Middleton toys at all?
I’m not a fan of dolls and these seem especially creepy looking, what with their biggish heads… but Kate’s royal wedding dress is pretty darling, I must admit.
Prince William just looks totally goofy, doesn’t he?
I’m betting that royal wedding fans – or fans of all things royal in general – will totally want in on this toy collectible though.
Recreate the royal wedding in your own home with William and Kate dolls – the Prince William and Princess Catherine wedding dolls cost £100 ($160) for the pair. Pretty spendy for kids’ play!
Toy company Arklu’s spokesperson said: ”The instantly recognizable and, some might say, delightfully kitsch wedding dolls pay homage to the stunning best-of-British outfits that so impressed the world when HRH Prince William of Wales married Catherine ‘Kate’ Middleton on April 29, 2011.”
You can pick up the pair from Arklu.com – there’s even a Kate Middleton engagement doll!
Sadly, no Pippa though.

Karen (SubMommy) commented on Aug 20 11 at 11:43 amWhy do they have giant heads? They’re like bobbleheads. These fall squarely on the side of creepy.
Too bad, ’cause neither one of them are exactly unattractive in real life.
Ora commented on Aug 20 11 at 11:46 amThey aren’t something I’d run out to purchase, but I can see why collectors would want them. As far as kids playing with them, I don’t think these were really made to be children’s play things. Yes, the oversized heads do make them look a bit creepy, but I think all dolls crafted to look like specific people look a bit creepy.

Jen commented on Jan 16 12 at 4:10 amI think they’re hideous dolls. Definitely not worth the money, and not sure why kids would want to play with them.
