Princess Kate's New Wax Figure Revealed at Madame Tussauds
London's Madame Tussauds museum unveiled on Wednesday a new wax figure of Princess Catherine of Wales, wife of Crown Prince William.
The new figure stands next to one of her husband and those of King Charles III and Queen Camilla, AFP reported.
The Princess of Wales, 43, is wearing a sparkly pink Jenny Packham gown and silver pumps, as well as a Royal Victorian Order blue sash.
'The new figure is styled in honor of an evening outfit Kate wore to King Charles' second annual Diplomatic Reception in December 2023,' Madame Tussauds said.
It is finished with an exact replica of the Lover's Knot tiara, which had been worn in the 1980s by the museum's figure of Princess Diana.
Senior general manager at Madame Tussauds, Steve Blackburn, said the Princess of Wales, also known as Kate, was 'majestically crafted by our talented studio team.'
She 'has been sculpted to ensure her resemblance is fit for a future queen, alongside her dashing husband,' Blackburn added.
Kate's new double has been put in place nearly 14 months after the princess announced she had been diagnosed with an unspecified cancer and was having chemotherapy in March 2024.
The shock announcement came only weeks after officials revealed that King Charles III, 76, had also been diagnosed with cancer.
The London tourist attraction first launched wax figures of William and Kate in April 2012, a year after their wedding.
