MINIKIN Dolls of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince George

The whole world has been watching and waiting for the arrival of Prince George Alexander Louis of Cambridge. Since his arrival we've all seen pictures of him in the arms of his parents, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, on the front pages of newspapers, magazine covers and the like. Now, you can see Prince William and Kate (and Prince George!) as Minikin dolls.

Elizabeth and I thought that Peppermint Toes should feature a set of dolls based on the Royal Family when they appeared outside of St. Mary's Hospital on July 23rd. The Duchess of Cambridge wore that blue polka-dotted Jenny Packham dress, and we have recreated it in felt for our Minikin doll out of wool/rayon felt. The dots have been hand-sewn onto the felt. Prince William is wearing his baby-blue shirt and has a metallic thread belt buckle and studs. Prince George is needle-felted from merino wool. Even his white shawl is felted from merino, which is what the real Prince's G.H. Hurt & Son shawl was made from.

These dolls are now available as a custom order in our Etsy store. It will take about three weeks for us to complete and ship your set of Royal Family Minikins. Prince George is felted individually, so if you would like Prince William to hold him, just let us know! We would also be able to make the Royal Family in the outfits as they appeared in the first Official photos of Prince George.

Elizabeth and I have had a lot of fun making these and are hoping that others will enjoy our version of the new Royal Family. Thanks for stopping by and visiting! Be sure to check back often, as we've got more dolls coming soon.
