16″ Vinyl Franklin Mint’s Kate Middleton: Royal Wedding Portrait Doll. Some interesting facts about royal brides is that their wedding bouquet will contain myrtle ” the herb of love”. This tradition started with Queen Victoria. Victoria used the herb in her bouquet and after her wedding she planted a myrtle shrub in her garden in Osborn House as a symbol of Albert’s and her love. Royal brides do not toss their bouquet at ther weddings, instead they leave their special bouquet at the grave of the unknown warrior in Westminster Abbey. (This tradition was started by the late queen mother.) Another tradition is that a royal bride’s wedding ring will be made with Welsh gold, which is quite rare. (Another tradition started by the late queen mother.) Finally royal brides assume their husband title. Only those born into a royal family can be a princess.
I purchased the “Royal Wedding Portrait Doll” from a seller in Highland Lakes, New Jersey in 2013.
