In pictures: Madam Tussauds unveils Meghan Markle waxwork

A WAXWORK figure of Meghan Markle has been unveiled less than a fortnight before the royal wedding.

Ms Markle’s waxwork sports the green PAROSH dress she wore for their engagement announcement as well as a replica of her diamond engagement ring.

Harry’s figure, originally created to mark his 30th birthday, has been updated for the occasion.

The couple’s waxworks were unveiled on Wednesday and will be accessible to the public the day before their nuptials on May 19.
