Princess of Wales waxwork unveiled at Madame Tussauds
Madame Tussauds has unveiled a new waxwork of the Princess of Wales in an outfit styled after one she wore in 2023.
The Prince and Princess of Wales flank the King and Queen in a replica throne room at the Baker Street attraction.
The Princess's latest figure has been dressed in a replica Jenny Packham gown, silver Gianvito Rossi 'Rania 105' pumps and the signature Lover's Knot tiara she wore to the annual Diplomatic Reception in December 2023.
The replica tiara is from the Madame Tussauds London archives and was worn by the figure of Princess Diana in the 1980s.
The look is completed with a replica Royal Victorian Order blue sash, Royal Family Order of QEII and Greville Diamond Chandelier earrings.
Steve Blackburn of Madame Tussauds London said: 'We are delighted that a new figure of the much-loved Catherine, Princess of Wales, has officially landed in the Royal Palace Experience at our attraction in the heart of London, continuing our centuries-long work with the Royal Family.'
The Prince of Wales waxwork also had an outfit change, and is dressed in a black tuxedo by Ede and Ravenscroft, a tailor with a long history of providing attire for the Royal Family, with a white bow-tie to match the reception gown draped on the effigy of the Princess.
The suit is completed with replicas of the Prince's sash and star of the Order of the Garter, along with copies of his army medals.
The Princess was first immortalised in wax in April 2012, a year after her wedding.
Mr Blackburn added: 'Kate, majestically crafted by our talented studio team, has been sculpted to ensure her resemblance is fit for a future queen, alongside her dashing husband.'
The Sussexes
Waxwork versions of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were displayed with models of working members of the Royal family in the replica throne room at Madame Tussauds for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee in 2022.
Prince Harry remained in the room for the King's Coronation the following year, while Meghan was relegated to the Hollywood area, but the pair are both noticeably absent from the newest installation.
