She’s one of the most beloved members of the British Royal Family – and now Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, has been given a regal makeover at Madame Tussauds London.
The new figure marks a refresh for the royal’s likeness at the famous Baker Street attraction, just weeks after she and Prince William celebrated their 14th wedding anniversary.
Originally launched in 2012 – a year after their fairy-tale Westminster Abbey wedding – the Princess’s figure has now been updated from head to toe by the museum’s expert artists. The new waxwork has been inspired by Kate’s appearance at the annual Diplomatic Reception in December 2023 – only the second of King Charles III’s reign.
Dressed in a dusky pink Jenny Packham gown, silver Gianvito Rossi-style heels, and the dazzling Lover’s Knot Tiara, the look is pure royal glamour.
The tiara, once worn by Princess Diana in the 1980s, has been carefully brought out of the Tussauds archives to add a touch of timeless elegance. The ensemble is finished with a perfect replica of the Royal Victorian Order blue sash, the Royal Family Order of Queen Elizabeth II, and the Greville Diamond Chandelier earrings – capturing not just her style, but her trademark warm smile and twinkle in her eye.
Kate, a devoted mother to Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, is celebrated worldwide for her grace, poise, and passion for charitable work – all of which have been lovingly reflected in her new figure.
And it’s not just the Princess who’s had a style update. Prince William’s figure has also been given a sharp new look to match his wife’s Diplomatic Reception attire. The Prince of Wales now sports a sleek black tuxedo by Ede & Ravenscroft, complete with sash, star of the Order of the Garter, and army medals.
“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, says Steve Blackburn, Senior General Manager at Madame Tussauds London.
“Only Madame Tussauds London can offer fans the truly immersive and unique opportunity to touch shoulders with past and present Royal Family members! 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 Royal Palace Experience remains one of the museum’s most popular attractions, giving guests the chance to rub shoulders with royalty – from the late Queen Elizabeth II to the reigning King Charles III.
Visitors are be able to ‘meet’ the new figure of the Princess of Wales – alongside the rest of her royal entourage – from today.
