A royal golly apology
05.02.09
The royal family has been caught up in the race row after a shop at Sandringham was found to be selling golliwog dolls.
The toys have been available for more than a year but Buckingham Palace only became aware of them after the furore provoked by Carol Thatcher. The 12-inch dolls priced at £9.99, have now been withdrawn from sale.
A spokesman said: “The management of the shop have said they did not intend to offend anyone by selling this product and have apologised. The shop will immediately review its purchasing policy.”
