The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrive just in time to experience an Australian Christmas with Her Majesty, the Queen
Sydney, Thursday 19 December: Today, Madame Tussauds Sydney experienced a truly noble event. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, William and Catherine wax figures touched down in Sydney for the first time as husband and wife. William and Catherine are now alongside Her Majesty, the Queen in a Christmas-theme surrounding at Madame Tussauds Sydney where they will spend their first Australian Christmas together.
Dressed to perfection, Catherine is wearing one of her most iconic gowns – a replica of her gorgeous floor-length lace Alice Temperley evening dress. Catherine is elegantly accessorised with a black velvet clutch featuring an oversized bow by Mascaró that she donned for the London premier of “War Horse”. Not to be outdone, William is dressed in a beautiful custom-made tuxedo by his tailor Gieves & Hawkes, with matching gold cufflinks, black Oxford brogues and a replica Omega Seamaster watch.
“We are absolutely thrilled to be bestowed this Royal visit. We have followed the Royal family very closely in the past, from their spectacular wedding in 2011 to the recent birth of Prince George so we welcome with joy the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge wax figures to the Sydney attraction. They are one of the best-loved couples in the world and visitors now have the incredible opportunity to experience a truly royal visit,” commented Quinn Clarke, General Manager, Madame Tussauds Sydney.
The expertly crafted wax figures were created with extensive involvement and support from the Royal couple. Every stage of the creation process was shared with William and Catherine, reflecting the close, longstanding relationship between Madame Tussauds and the British Royal family. Each wax figure took over 800 hours and 60 Madame Tussauds artists to complete. Catherine’s trade mark loose-waves hairstyle took over six weeks alone to create as each hair was individually inserted by hand.
