Royals solidify their relationship...in wax

When you're a royal couple, it's hard to be everywhere at once.

But if you're in London, New York or Amsterdam, you'll have an opportunity to get up close and personal with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, whose wax figures are now on display at Madame Tussauds in all three cities.

Liz Edwards of Tussauds in London says each location captures a different moment in time.

"We always try and choose a snapshot in time so for London it was very natural choice for us to choose the engagement photo. That's when they announced their love to the world and they were going to become man and wife. That was so iconic and London absolutely wanted to recreate that."

For the occasion, the wax house even rounded up the other royals.

In New York, Stacy MacGregor said Tussauds chose the couple's look from the BAFTA "Brits to Watch" Awards in Los Angeles.

"Kate is wearing an Alexander McQueen replica, we have worked directly with the design house. She is also wearing Jimmy Choo shoes and Jimmy Choo clutch as well as the earrings that she's wearing were replicas of the ones that were donated by the queen for this event."

Each wax figure costs a royal price tag of around 300,000 U.S. dollars or close to 190,000 pounds, taking a team of sculptors and designers four months to create.
