Sex doll company says they are inundated with requests to make Princess Diana dolls

Lots of people out there want to shag Princess Diana, apparently.

'But she's dead', we hear you say.

Well, we don't mean her literally, but a sex doll made in her likeness.

Diana isn't the only royal who punters are calling for the sex doll treatment.

However, CEO Ben Stroud describes himself as a Royalist, meaning we won't be seeing a raunchy royal doll anytime soon as they're all firmly on the 'no' list for taste and decency reasons.

"We get requests for Princess Diana regularly, especially after the latest series of The Crown, but we would never open ourselves up to accusations of cheapening her memory," he said.

"If we were just motivated by money we would create Megan Markle and Kate Middleton dolls and see through sales who is the most popular but at heart I am a royalist."

He added: "We are a global company so each country has their own version of Diana, but we don't want to offend anyone."

He did spill the beans on the most-requested male celebrity, though.

And would you believe it: It's not a member of the Royal Family.

"I presumed he would be popular in the UK but Americans and Asians love him too," Stroud said.

"We get so many requests as customers know we can provide bespoke unique dolls it would not surprise me if we get an order for an overweight Tom Hardy, we could call him Tom Lardy."

Stroud revealed that many influencers and porn stars have opted to have sex dolls made in their likeness, so he does hold out hope that Hardy will agree to be doll-ified.

"I really hope he embraces the idea and helps us create a new doll which does him justice," Stroud said.

He added: "The porn stars and influencers who signed up for their own dolls have had amazing feedback from their fans."

Porn star Thor Johnson, whose doll is one of the best selling Inferno sex toys, said he loves having his own body double out there doing the deed.

"I loved the whole process of helping create it and I am sure Tom Hardy will do to," he said.

The company uses breakthroughs in silicone engineering to create life-size and lifelike sex dolls.

With the replicas of porn stars and influencers, the dolls come with accompanying virtual reality videos.

However, a Tom Hardy doll would be the first of its kind for the company, despite customers willing to pay £10,000 (AUD$18,546, USD$12,430) for a lookalike.

Inferno makes their dolls to have physical attributes including hair, muscles, birthmarks, facial likeness and replica genitalia.

They cost £8,000 (AUD$14,836, USD$9,944) each or £600 (AUD$1,112, USD$745) to rent for three days.
