Experience the Royal Family in Wax at Madame Tussauds Orlando – Limited 2015 Event

Britain's royal family has arrived at Madame Tussauds Orlando for a limited engagement.

Grab your selfie stick! Madame Tussauds Orlando at ICON Park on International Drive is now hosting wax replicas of Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Harry, Prince William, and Duchess Catherine. The four figures are arranged together on a festive backdrop, perfect for your Instagram moments.

The Queen’s likeness is clothed in the exact dress she wore for her Diamond Jubilee portrait. Prince Harry’s figure dons a Savile Row–crafted De Ge & Skinner suit—the same tailor he selects for his uniforms. Duchess Catherine’s figure is styled after her 2011 BAFTA Awards appearance, wearing a pale lilac Alexander McQueen gown. Prince William’s figure is outfitted in a custom double‑breasted dinner suit from Gieves & Hawkes, featuring six buttons.

Madame Tussauds has celebrated a long‑standing relationship with the British Royal Family since 1835, when the London location opened permanently after years as a traveling show.

While you’re at ICON Park, you can explore the new SEA Life Orlando Aquarium or take in the city’s skyline from the 400‑foot observation wheel, The Wheel.
