Duchess Catherine horrified by plastic 'lookalike' doll

The Duchess of Cambridge, has always been admired for her impeccable hairstyle … but now she may be considering a new look.

Catherine was presented with a look-alike Barbie doll by 11-year-old Dayna Miller while she was visiting Dumfries House in Ayrshire, Scotland, with her husband Prince William and father-in-law Prince Charles.

“No! Oh no, is that me? Is that meant to be me? Does my hair really look like that!” the Duchess exclaimed of the doll, which was released following the announcement of the royal wedding and replicated Catherine’s engagement dress.

“I told [Catherine] she was much prettier than the doll and her hair was not nearly so big, and she laughed and seemed happy,” Dayna says. “I think she was a bit shocked by the doll though.

“I can’t believe how nice she was. She was just lovely. This has been the best day ever.”

Wearing a red coat, the pregnant Duchess spent time chatting to the crowds of people who had waited hours to get a glimpse of the royal pair.

Catherine and William, who are eagerly awaiting the birth of their first child, announced yesterday that it is due mid-July and that they have short listed both boy and girl names.

The pair arrived in Scotland yesterday for two days of engagements.
