There’s just over a week until Prince Harry weds Meghan Markle.
As Royal wedding fever continues to reach new heights, Madame Tussauds in London has fueled the fire by giving the people what we want – the world’s first waxwork figurine of Meghan Markle featuring a revamped Prince Harry by her side, and would you believe it’s actually a pretty damn fine job.
The likeness to the soon-to-be princess is uncanny, with the London wax figure wearing the dark green PAROSH dress Megs wore for the couple’s engagement shoot, right down to an exact replica of her engagement ring.
There will be a second waxwork figure of the former Suits actress in New York, where she’ll be wearing a black and white dress.
Fans can see and take pictures with the figures from May 19.

Prince Harry’s wax figure has been updated with a new beard and the perfect ginger bristle only serves to make his likeness more exact.
Meghan’s wax figure cost a whooping £150,000 (or $272,385.00 AUD) to create, so no doubt there’ll be some serious security flanking the statues.
Seeing double!
In 2012, London’s Madame Tussauds released waxwork figures of Prince William and Kate Middleton and they too were spot-on.
Their waxworks cost more than $230,000 each and took a team of artist four months to complete. Kate’s hair alone took six weeks and was crafted from thousands of strands of human hair. The figures are dressed in copies of the outfits William and Kate wore to announce their engagement in 2010.
You make need to look thrice, with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on the right and their waxwork likeness on the left.
Who is moulded best?
Sorry – but we’re going to have to award the best waxwork likeness to Meghan and Harry on this one.
From a distance you’d be mistaken for thinking you’d seen the real thing – where as Kate and Will’s wax figures are not quiet as life like.
Meghan, call us any time to collect your prize.
