It is known that the doll “Princess Elizabeth” was created by German manufacturers Schoenau & Hoffmeister. The toy was supposed to depict Queen Elizabeth when she was a child, and the image was taken from her previous photos.
However, this doll was not approved by the royal family. In particular, the Queen Mother, Lady Elizabeth Bose-Lyon, did not like the doll because it was “too chubby”. In the end, it was never released into mass circulation.
The doll is sold with the original label as part of a collection of about 500 toys. The owner of the dolls Betty Fox from Nottinghamshire died in 2019 at the age of 95.
Collectors have estimated her doll collection at between £ 40,000 and £ 60,000. The “Princess Elizabeth” doll costs, according to experts, from 500 to 800 pounds.
Betty Fox’s collection consists mainly of German and French porcelain dolls, which the mother of four has been collecting all her life. Now they plan to sell them as part of a three-day online auction.
