Some eagle-eyed fans may notice that the figure has been topped with an exact replica of the signature Lover\u2019s Knot Tiara – first created for Queen Mary in 1914.<\/p>\n
The tiara, from the Madame Tussauds London archives, was later worn by the figure of Princess Diana in the 1980s, and pays a touching nod to the former Princess of Wales.<\/p>\n
Diana received the tiara as a wedding gift from her late Majesty in 1981 and wore it for the first time at the state opening of Parliament that November.<\/p>\n
She then wore it most notably again in 1985 on an official visit to Washington with Prince Charles.<\/p>\n
It has a strong French influence, made in a new-classical design on 19 open-work diamond arches – and enclosing an oriental pearl drop from a diamond lover’s knot bow, surrounded by single diamonds and upright oval pearl spikes.<\/p>\n
Following Princess Diana’s death, it was passed down to Kate, and is now perhaps her most beloved royal jewelry.<\/p>\n
Steve Blackburn, Senior General Manager at Madame Tussauds London, said: \u201cWe are delighted that a new figure of the much-loved Catherine, Princess of Wales, has officially landed in The Royal Palace Experience.<\/p>\n

Catherine\u2019s restyling comes alongside an outfit change for her husband, Prince William\u2019s figure.<\/p>\n
Dressed, alongside the rest of the royal family – including King Charles II, Queen Camilla, and the late Queen Elizabeth II – the Prince of Wales is styled in a dapper black Ede & Ravenscroft tuxedo with a white bow-tie.<\/p>\n
The suit is complete with replicas of his sash and star of the Order of the Garter and army medals.<\/p>\n
This figure will be on display at the Baker Street attraction from the 21st of May, in the Royal Palace Experience, where<\/p>\n
guests will have the opportunity to \u2018meet\u2019 the Princess of Wales\u2019 new figure and other members of the Royal Family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The new Kate Middleton wax figure at Madame Tussauds London.
