Designed by Merrythought and sold through the Highgrove Shop at the [King’s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/towering-double-cheeseburger-sliders) estate, the bear is strictly intended for [adult collectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/after-dark-valentines-day-collection). It is priced at £269, and it reflects thoughtful design with features like deep blue eyes, a hand-stitched smile, and a gold-embroidered royal cypher on the left paw. It wears an authentic Royal Victorian Order sash with Italian gold tassels and bears an enamel and gold-plated Order of the Garter star. Only 1,948 units are being produced—a reference to the King's birth year—and each comes in a luxury gift box with a numbered certificate of authenticity. A more modest version, the "King’s Birthday Edition Bear," is also available for £150, limited to 500 pieces.
