Toy giant Mattel is launching Wills'n'Kate Barbie dolls to cash in on their first wedding anniversary in April. The mini versions of the royal couple – marketed as the William and Catherine Royal Wedding Giftset, and a snip at $100 – has perfectly captured in plastic the perma-smiles that come as standard issue for royal couples. However, Mattel has decided to turn back the clock in terms of William's bald patch, with the Barbie version sporting a full-on mop reminiscent of the kind of barnet that Wayne Rooney forked out tens of thousands of pounds to achieve. Monkey has been unable to establish if a "hair clause" was inserted by the royal household as a condition of Mattel being given the go-ahead. Whatever next – a Pippa Middleton Barbie doll, from the waist down only?
