Madame Tussauds in London has unveiled a new figure of the Princess of Wales.
Unveiled on Wednesday, the majestic model was dressed in a replica of Kate's shimmering pink Jenny Packham dress, which she debuted in 2023, in addition to a replica of the 'Lover's Knot' tiara, which was previously worn by the late Princess Diana.
The statue was also dressed in the Royal Victorian Order blue sash, the Royal Family Order of Elizabeth II and a replica of the Greville Diamond Chandelier earrings.
It was placed in the 'throne room' alongside statues of Prince William, King Charles and Queen Camilla.

One penned: "The side profile is incredible! They did a great job I think!", while a second wrote: "Side view looks good, front not quite right in my opinion", and a third chimed in: "Side view is spot on".
Elsewhere, another penned: "Looks nothing like her".

Kate and William were first immortalised back in 2012 in outfits they wore at their 2010 engagement announcement. It took a total of four months for the chief sculptors to capture their likeness using a mixture of pictures and video footage.
The wax figures received a glamorous update two years later in 2012, with Kate's wax work rocking a floor-length teal gown in lieu of her navy Issa dress.
