Royals and ... Barbie?

Royals are becoming a huge part in popular culture, especially the British Royal Family. Ever since Queen Elizabeth became Queen, the royal family has been modernizing itself to keep up with the ever changing world. But who knew that there are royal Barbies? Well, if you did, I didn't until recently when I took a trip to Montreal, Canada. Canada, is part of the Commonwealth, and the royals do make frequent visits to Canada. William and Kate went to Canada in 2016. But, in Montreal, Canada, you can find an amazing thing, the world's largest permanent Barbie doll expo. In this exhibit, you can find Barbie dolls of three famous royals.

The first famous royals on display are:

Prince William and Princess Kate!
Yes, while this is not the most accurate representation of the beloved Princess Kate, it is still really gorgeous and the dress is quite accurate to her real wedding dress. As for Prince William, the outfit is super close to the real one. Overall, extremely spectacular to see!

My third royal Barbie guest has two Barbie dolls on display, and is not in the British royal family. It is...

Grace Kelly!

First things first, the dress is beautiful! I feel that Grace Kelly is well represented in this Barbie doll. The outfit is very Grace-ish, and really conveys the character of Grace Kelly.

Close up of Grace Kelly:

It really does look a lot like her! But, Grace Kelly is so lucky and gets to have two Barbie dolls on display. You can also see her wedding dress!

Unfortunately, I am not extremely tall, and since the doll was on the highest display case, the doll is quite hard to see in the picture. To see what the doll looks like, click here . It is definitely worth checking out!

Maybe, when Meghan Markle and Prince Harry get married, Barbie will make a wedding doll. It is definitely worth looking for!

So, if you ever find yourself in Montreal, come to the Barbie expo! It's really fun!

Royal Corgi Information

Queen Elizabeth II is not only in love with corgis! If you thought that Queen Elizabeth strictly only owns corgis, you are wrong. But, corgis are the dog of the royal monarchy. In fact, three of her corgis had a part of the opening ceremony at the London Olympics back in 2012. Three other cool facts to know about the Queen's corgis are: Her love of corgis began as a child when her dad, George VI bought the family a corgi named Dookie. Most of her corgis common ancestor is Susan, who was the Queen's eighteenth birthday present.  Susan the corgi came with Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip on their honeymoon. But the Queen does not limit herself to one breed of dogs! She has also owned labradors, a golden retriever, a cocker spaniel , and a shih tzu. The Queen has also been known to breed dorgis, which are a dachshund corgi mix which sound so cute! I got my information from the book Queen Elizabeth II and the Royal Family

The Royal Ascot 2019

Every summer, members of the British royal family attend the famous Royal Ascot, which is a horse race. This year, some of the members of the royal family that went included the Queen, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, Princess Anne, and Zara Tindall. Also, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands were in attendance. Notably absent were the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who were most likely at home with their a little more than a month old son Archie. In terms of style, the Queen opted for her usual monochromatic look with a blue coat and hat. The Duchess of Cambridge also donned a pleated pale blue dress and fascinator of the same shade to match. Princess Beatrice also wore an all pale blue attire with a wide brimmed blue hat with pink, blue, and yellow tassels. Zara Tindall also joined in the blue fascinator trend, pairing her fascinator with a black dress with a large flowered pattern. Princess Eugenie kept herself within the blue r

The Wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle!

First things first, Meghan's dress was gorgeous. It was simple, elegant, and stunning. The second thing is, the fasinators were amazing! But, before I get into that, let's start at the beginning. This is how I viewed the wedding. 4:00 am - Turned on the television. At this point, people had not started to arrive yet, and it was mainly reporters speculating about Meghan's dress. 4:30 to 5:00 am - People started to come, mainly aristocrats, Hollywood stars, and friends of Harry and Meghan, including Oprah Winfrey, Serena Williams, and Prince Harry's ex Chelsy Davy. Reporters also interviewed people who had charities that Harry and Meghan supported. Sometime after that, (I lost track of the time,) some more celebrities and aristocrats came, including the Middletons, the Beckhams and the Clooneys, as well as some more actresses. Then, the royal family began to arrive. The first royal that I saw was Zara Tindall, who is  pregnant with her second child, who is due v
