The Royal Family has reunited in waxwork form for the Queen's Jubilee at Madame Tussauds.

For a limited time, the waxwork figures of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have joined the other royals in the London attraction's Royal Throne Room.

Waxwork Figures of Prince Harry, Meghan Markle Join Royal Family

After they stood down as working royals, Madame Tussauds relocated their figures to the Awards Party area, where they could be spotted with celebrities such as Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Dua Lipa.

To commemorate the golden jubilee, the Royal Family figurines standing with the Queen have also been given a black-tie makeover. Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, is presently wearing an emerald Jenny Packham gown, which she wore on two royal occasions.

On the eve of lockdown, Meghan wore a crimson, caped Safiyaa gown to one of her final royal engagements at the Royal Albert Hall. Meanwhile, the Duke of Sussex, Prince Charles, and William, Duke of Cambridge have all donned tuxedos.

The Queen's figure is clad in a reproduction of the official Diamond Jubilee picture photography's white and silver lace gown, which is coated in 53,000 Swarovski components, according to Standard.

Duke, Duchess of Sussex To Attend Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have announced that they would attend Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee festivities this month, together with their two children.

The 96-year-old queen will meet the couple's 11-month-old daughter, Lilibet Diana, on their June visit to the UK, which comes after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex paid a secret visit to the Queen in April before traveling to the Hague, Netherlands for the Invictus Games.

The visit, however, begs the question of where the couple would lodge during their stay in the UK. According to the Sun, the duke and duchess, their daughter, and their three-year-old son, Archie Harrison, will remain at their former home, Frogmore Cottage, during their visit to the UK, since increased security measures are already in place in anticipation of the Sussexes' arrival

The couple lived in Windsor until they stepped down from their duties in the royal family and relocating to the United States in April 2020. However, it was rumored at the time that the duke and duchess, who conducted a $3 million refurbishment of the cottage, would maintain the house to have a home in the UK, Independent reported.

As the Duke of Sussex was spotted on a bike ride in the California heat with his new right-hand man, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle allegedly recruited Michael Jackson's former bodyguard as the head of their security squad.

Alberto Alvarez, 45, who testified at Michael Jackson's death trial in 2011 and phoned 911 on the night the pop icon died in 2009, was spotted riding right behind Harry earlier this week, according to newly published photos. Alvarez has 15 years of expertise in personal protection and event security and has previously worked for the boyband One Direction.

Prince Harry's presence comes only days before he and Meghan Markle will be reunited with their families for the first time in a year when they fly to the UK for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee next weekend.

It comes after an expert warned that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's attendance may destabilize the monarchy.

When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle come to the UK with their children Archie, three, and Lilibet, one, for the Platinum Jubilee weekend, they will be the center of attention.

However, Palace staff will do everything possible to keep a Sussex sideshow from overshadowing the Queen, 96, and the formal celebrations. The attention paid to the Sussexes may engender anger among family members like Sophie Wessex and Princess Anne, who labor "day in and day out" yet are often disregarded by the press and public, as per Daily Mail.
