Queen Camilla is the proud owner of a mini version of herself in Barbie form.
She was presented the doll, wearing exactly the same outfit, for her work as president of the Women Of The World (Wow) Foundation.
The charity supports gender equality, celebrates achievements of women and girls and looks at obstacles stopping them from fulfilling their potential.
The doll's hair was closely modelled on Camilla's curls. The jewellery was also modelled on what the Queen wore, including her badge.
Queen Camilla seemed very happy with her lookalike saying, "you've taken about 50 years off my life - we should all have a Barbie."
She was presented with it at an event to celebrate International Women's Day with women and school girls who "represent hope for women in the future."
In a speech during the event, she showed stones that had broken windows at Buckingham Palace in May 1914 after they were thrown by two suffragettes.
The Queen said: "In 1914, I believe, they represented hope to the women who threw them, hope that, in the future, they would not be victims of their history.
"Above all, they represented the hope that it was possible, as Christabel Pankhurst (daughter of Emmeline Pankhurst) said, 'to make this world a better place for women'.
