New Prince William and Kate waxworks revealed

The first waxworks of Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge were today unveiled at Madame Tussauds.

Each figure cost around £150,000 pounds to create and took a team of sculptors and hair and colour artists four

months to complete.

The new figures, expected to be a main draw at the London waxworks, awere dressed in replicas of the outfits they

wore when announcing their engagement in 2010.

The Duchess, then Kate Middleton, appeared at the engagement announcement in a blue Issa dress and a sapphire and diamond ring once worn by Diana, Princess of Wales, William’s late

mother.

The ring has also been reproduced, although it was obscured by a handbag at Madame Tussauds, where dozens of photographers and camera crews showed up to capture the models.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge did not personally attend a sitting for their beaming reproductions, but were “closely involved and kept informed at every stage of the process,”

Madame Tussauds said.
