The first ever waxwork of the Duchess of Cambridge has been unveiled at Madame Tussauds in London on 04/04/2012"

The Tussauds artists worked from the iconic pose of the two at the announcement of their engagement, when Kate wore the now famous blue dress to match the stunning sapphire engagement ring, once Diana's, that she had just been given by her prince.

Uncanny: Madame Tussauds unveil their new statues of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. The waxwork is Kate's first;

Catherine’s figure wears on her hand an accurate recreation of her sapphire and diamond engagement ring, while William wears a replica of the Omega Seamaster watch he wore on his engagement day.
The figures cost £150,000 each to make and took a dedicate team of artists four months to create.

Exact replicas: Madame Tussauds worked with Issa and Gieves & Hawkes to ensure the clothes worn by the couple would be perfect representations of the real thing;

Accurate portrayal: The modelling artists, working from the couple's engagement announcement photograph, captured the happy expressions on their faces;

The couple will be featured in the London attraction’s special Royal zone in a resplendent throne room setting.
Situated nearby are Her Majesty The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh, The Prince of Wales and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, as well as Princess Harry and the late Princess Diana.
'We are delighted to welcome the Duke and Duchess to Madame Tussauds London,' commented Liz Edwards, PR Manager at Madame Tussauds London.
