King Charles launches quirky royal plushie range inspired by Princess Charlotte’s Jellycat obsession
KING Charles has been inspired by his granddaughter Princess Charlotte to produce a range of posh royal plushies.
Charlotte, 11, is said to be obsessed with Jellycat cuddly toys — and now the monarch is selling his own versions based on an English afternoon tea.
They include a cucumber sandwich and Victoria sponge, Battenberg and cupcakes.
A teacup and teapot complete the Tea at the Palace collection, on sale in the Garden Shop at Buckingham Palace this summer.
They are also available on the Royal Collection Trust website.
Princess Charlotte and her brothers Prince George, 12, and eight-year-old Prince Louis have a collection of Jellycat cuddly toys, according to their mum Catherine, Princess of Wales.
Charlotte has been pictured with a Jellycat plush toy in portraits and last year her parents were gifted two at a Buckingham Palace garden party.
Prince William said: “My children will love these. They are children’s currency.”
English afternoon tea was introduced by Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, in 1840 to fill the long gap between lunch and her late dinners.
LETTERS sent from Queen Elizabeth II to confidante Peter Stewart — including notes to Santa from children Charles and Anne asking for Beatrix Potter toys — have sold for £10,500 in Colchester, Essex.
