Madame Tussaud’s London has unveiled a revamped figure of Kate Middleton, continuing the attraction’s 200-year relationship with the royal family.

Princess Catherine stands in the Royal Palace Experience alongside her husband, Prince William, King Charles III and Queen Camilla.

The original figure of Catherine was first revealed in 2012, one year on from her wedding to William, while the new figure has been restyled in homage to the outfit worn to the annual diplomatic reception in December 2023 – dressed in a pink Jenny Packham gown, silver pumps, and complete with the sash of the Dame Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order, the highest ranking of chivalry, which was personally awarded to her by Queen Elizabeth II.

The Princess of Wales’s outfit is finished off with a replica of the Lover’s Knot Tiara, which is from the Madame Tussaud’s London archives and was previously worn by the figure of Princess Diana in the 1980s.

Mother to Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, the princess is a well-loved figure, known worldwide known for balancing her royal duties with charitable work and advocacy.
