About this deal

Under the media spotlight, Diana's life becomes more and more complicated as she wants to divorce Prince Charles. While it is difficult to join the British Royal Family, it is just as complicated to leave it and the Princess' public notoriety is becoming increasingly heavy. Charles and Diana divorced in 1996. The green and purple Funko Pop! figurine of the Queen, which released December 3, 2018, is the same shape and set up of her pink one, but matches the color scheme of the light green and purple ensemble she wore to her grandchild Prince Harry’s wedding to Meghan Markle in May 2018. This is a little odd as that outfit had numerous different details, including a different hat shape and trimming, a different fastening on the coat, a different brooch, and a multicolored dress underneath. The color scheme is quite distinctive though, and I don’t think she’s been seen wearing those colors on any other occasion. I’m guessing that while they were putting out a Duke and Duchess of Sussex set, they decided they might as well crank out a “royal wedding themed” version of the Queen using the same mold they already had used for the pink outfit. It’s a little sad actually; I would have love to see the actual trimming of that hat in plastic miniature form. Of all the Funko Pop! characters to collect, the members of the British royal family are the ones that go straight to the heart. It is then only fitting that the Windsors could not be missing among the Funko characters. The reinterpretation in form makes them practically irresistible, with the disproportion between body and head being characteristic of the figurine genre. Considering the calibre of the subjects, these are must-have editions in the souvenir collection. The interest from fans is indeed very high. Funko Pop! Queen Elizabeth

S3: 1 & 2: “Olding” & “Margaretology” 3: “Aberfan” 4: “Bubbikins, 5: “Coup” 6: “Tywysog Cymru” 7: “Moondust" 8: “Dangling Man” 9: “Imbroglio” 10: “Cri de Coeur” The pink Funko Pop! figure of Queen Elizabeth II shows her in a pink coat, dress, and hat with red feather ensemble that she’s worn on numerous occasions. While the dress was relatively simple, Meghan’s wedding veil featured embroidery of distinctive flowers from all 53 countries in the Commonwealth of Nations, as well as flowers from her native state, California, and from the garden of Kensington Palace. At full length, it was five meters, almost 16.5 feet long! There’s a full list of all the flowers featured over at Royal.uk which is super fun to read through! Funko did a decent job trying to emulate the veil, considering their size and production restrictions, and you can kind of see that the different patterns are supposed to represent various flowers. Diana is victim of a tragic road accident in Paris in 1997 in which she dies suddenly. While the accident was subject to much controversy, it seems established that Diana's driver was trying to escape from the paparazzi, which will amplify the already very present animosity between the royal family and the press... Diana's funeral took place at Westminster Abbey and left the terrible image of the two young princes walking behind their mother's coffin... The tribute paid to Lady Di was equal to the mark left by the young woman with millions of testimonies from all over the world. The matching brightly colored coat and hat look has basically served as a uniform for the Queen for the past few decades at royal events, and there are many memes dedicated to how consistent her look is. she said before that she specifically wears bright colors so that everyone can see her.

Thank you

The figurine also sports the Queen’s ever-present Cornelia James gloves, which she wears at most public appearances (she shakes so many hands that it’s just a sensible precaution, even pre-COVID). As Funko Pop! noted in their December 2017 press release announcing the collection, “These products are our fun characterisation of the icons they represent, but they have not been endorsed or approved by any member of the Royal Family. They do not have any connection with and are not of a type supplied to any member of the Royal Family.” Funko Pop Royals introduces elegant depictions of Britain's famed first family. The release features notable royal subjects like Princess Diana, and her sons, Prince William and Prince Harry.
