Kate Middleton gets glam Madame Tussauds make-over - while Meghan Markle is moved

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have finally been reunited with the Royal Family - at a London tourist attraction.

Waxwork figures of the pair have re-joined figures of other royals in a display at Madame Tussauds just ahead of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations next week.

The reunion is for a limited time only and will coincide with Harry and Meghan travelling to the UK with their children Archie and Lilibet to join the royals for the Jubilee.

The London attraction had moved the couple's figures away from the other royals in 2020 to a different part of the building when it was revealed they were quitting their roles as senior working royals to carve out a new life in California.

However, they will only be staying there for two weeks while the Jubilee celebrations take place.

Meanwhile, all of the Royal Family figures at Madame Tussauds, including the Duchess of Cambridge's, have been given black-tie makeovers to mark the Queen's 70 years on the throne.

The Kate figure now wows in a sparkling emerald Jenny Packham dress she wore on a tour of Pakistan in 2019 and at the Royal Variety Show last year.

Meghan's figure is dressed in a red, caped Safiyaa gown worn on one of her last royal engagements at the Mountbatten Festival of Music at Royal Albert Hall in London in March 2020.

Prince Charles, Prince William and Harry have all been dressed in tuxedos while Camilla joins them in a baby blue ball gown.

Meanwhile, the figure of the Queen is the 23rd of the 24 created by Madame Tussauds across her 70-year reign.

She is dressed in a recreation of the white and silver lace dress, worn in the official Diamond Jubilee portrait photography.

It is covered in 53,000 Swarovski elements complete with a blue silk sash adorned with the Queen’s Garter Badge and topped off by a replica of the diamond and pearl George IV State Diadem.

Tim Waters, general manager at Madame Tussauds London, said: “With Harry and Meghan returning to the UK to celebrate Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee it felt only right that our figures come together once more on our Royal Throne Room set to join in the family festivities.

“Our much-loved Royal Family figures have also been given an elegant new look ahead of the much-anticipated celebrations, decked out in their black-tie finery to mark this once in a lifetime occasion.

“At Madame Tussauds London we have a long history with The Royal Family, with British monarchs doing us the honour of sitting for our artists since 1809. We’re so proud this has continued into the 20th century and we continue celebrating major milestones for Her Majesty The Queen.”
