Queen Elizabeth & Prince Harry Figures Make US Debut at Madame Tussauds NY

To celebrate the arrival of the royal figures, visitors to the attraction who present a U.K. passport are eligible to receive a $5 discount on admission throughout the weekend.


Madame Tussauds New York has unveiled new wax figures of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Harry, who join the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge as members of a traveling “Royal Set,” which will visit other Madame Tussauds attractions world-wide. The figures will be in New York through the end of the year.

Queen Elizabeth’s wax figure is fitted in an exact replica of the dress she wore for her official Diamond Jubilee portrait. Madame Tussauds studio artists were invited to the Palace to obtain exact measurements, photos and detailed notes of the dress. It is embellished with approximately 10,000 Swarovski crystals which took over 60 hours to complete. Her jewelry is all handmade and includes the George IV State Diadem, the Garter Star, the Garter Badge, the insignia of the Royal Order of George V and George VI, and Colette necklace and earrings.

Prince Harry’s wax figure is dressed in a Dege & Skinner suit from Savile Row — created by the actual tailor he uses for his uniforms. Prince Harry is adorned with medals: a set of three Court-Mounted full-size medals, three pairs of gilt and enamel Garter Stars, and one pair of Flying Wings.

Duchess Kate Middleton’s wax figure is styled after her look at the 2011 BAFTA Awards in a one-of-a-kind pale lilac Alexander McQueen gown. Prince William is in a double-breasted six button two-piece dinner suit specially made for Madame Tussauds by Gieves & Hawkes.

To celebrate the arrival of the royal figures, visitors to the attraction who present a U.K. passport are eligible to receive a $5 discount on admission throughout the weekend.*

Madame Tussauds enjoys a close relationship with the British Royal Family dating back to William IV, King of England when the attraction first opened in London in 1835. Their Highnesses have been closely involved with the royal figures. Madame Tussauds originally began as a traveling exhibit before establishing a permanent home in London and ultimately expanding to 17 attractions worldwide. As a nod to the legacy of its 200 year-old brand, Madame Tussauds features several traveling exhibits each year including Bollywood, The Beatles, ABBA and a Michael Jackson retrospective set.


Madame Tussauds New York is the interactive "must do" attraction, providing guests with unique opportunities to create memories with some of the world's biggest icons. Prominently located in the heart of Times Square, Madame Tussauds New York is open 365 days a year at 10am. Visit www.madametussauds.com/newyork or call 866-246-8872 for more information.
