The figure depicts the Prince in the splendid ceremonial robes worn at his Investiture as Prince of Wales at Caernarfon Castle in July 1969, a state occasion watched by hundreds of millions worldwide and one of the great pageants of the twentieth century. Royal Doulton's modellers captured the gravity and grandeur of that occasion in a piece that stands as both a royal portrait and a record of history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe figurine was produced at Royal Doulton's Burslem factory in Staffordshire to the exacting standards that had defined the company's commemorative and portrait pieces since the early years of the twentieth century. The Investiture robes — purple velvet mantle, coronet, and the full ceremonial dress of the Principality — presented the modelling team with a richly detailed subject, and the piece rewards close examination. HN2883 was issued as a limited edition or 1500 pieces, reflecting the importance of the subject and the collector demand that royal commemorative pieces from Doulton have consistently commanded. He is 8\" tall and comes with his plinth and COA. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eRoyal Doulton royal commemoratives occupy a distinct and valued place within the broader collector market for Doulton figurines. Pieces tied to specific historical events — coronations, investitures, jubilees — tend to hold their appeal across generations precisely because they document moments rather than simply depict subjects. HN2883 is among the more sought-after of these, connecting as it does to one of the most visually memorable state ceremonies of the postwar era. For collectors assembling a royal or commemorative Doulton holding, it is an essential piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eOffered in excellent condition with plinth and COA only.
