Astonishing new wax figure of Queen Camilla Consort unveiled
A new tribute to King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla has been unveiled in London ahead of the highly-anticipated coronation.
As the Queen Consort prepares for a crowning of her own, Madame Tussauds London has created a wax figure of the 75-year-old wearing a tiara, gown and sash.
The statue was first shown on April 27, ahead of being displayed beside one of King Charles’ waxworks.
Queen Camilla’s wax figure shows her in a midnight blue dress, made by one of her favourite designers, Anna Valentine, and decked with a royal blue sash and star of the Order of the Garter.
The royal is also seen in a replica of the late Queen’s Belgian sapphire tiara and matching George VI sapphire necklace.
The necklace was a wedding gift from her father, King George VI when she married Prince Philip in 1947.
The Queen Consort was seen in the Belgian tiara at the first state banquet of King Charles’ reign, where they hosted South African President Cyril Ramaphosa at Buckingham Palace in November 2022.
Both the royal’s Art Deco engagement ring and Welsh gold wedding band are seen on the figure.
"Whilst for many people this will be their first experience of a coronation, the Coronation of King Charles III will be the eighth that Madame Tussauds London has celebrated," General Manager Tim Waters said.
"We're incredibly proud of our centuries long link with The Palace and what better way to mark the official start of this new chapter in the history of the British Monarchy than with the creation of our brand new soon-to-be Queen Camilla to stand alongside her husband, The King."
