Camilla, the model royal! New waxwork of Queen Consort unveiled ahead of Coronation
ok.co.ukQueen Consort Camilla has been immortalised in a waxwork statue unveiled at Madame Tussauds ahead of King Charles’ Coronation.
The statue - which has an incredible likeness to the 75 year old royal - will stand alongside Charles, Prince William, Kate Middleton, the late Queen and Prince Philip in a replica Throne Room at the London attraction.
For the model, designer Anna Valentine recreated the outfit she designed for Camilla’s attendance at the Diplomatic Reception in December 2022, a dark blue gown paired with a royal blue sash, star of the Order of the Garter and replica of the Belgian sapphire tiara owned by the Queen.
Tim Waters, general manager of Madame Tussauds, said: “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. “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.” It comes after the flagship museum in the capital opened a new Royal Palace experience in the lead-up to the coronation on 6 May.
