The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will arrive in Australia for the first time later this month – but unfortunately this royal couple is made of wax.
Madame Tussauds’ famous waxworks of William and Kate touch down in Sydney on December 19 for a three-month stay.
The figures, dressed in the outfits the real royals wore to the London premiere of Warhorse in 2012, will be on display in Madame Tussauds Sydney in Darling Harbour for the summer months before travelling to other cities.
Spot the difference! The waxworks (right) and the real thing (left).
The waxwork royal couple will call Sydney home for three months.
The waxworks cost more than $230,000 each.
They took a team of artists four months to complete.
Kate’s hair alone took six weeks and was crafted from thousands of strands of human hair.
Australia is one of the first stops in a multi-country tour.
The figures have been on display in the royal room at Madame Tussauds London since April 2012.
It’s not the first time William has been made into a wax figure – this older model is still on display in London.
