In addition, a brand new figure of Queen Elizabeth, William's grandmother and the current British monarch, is set to be unveiled as part of her Diamond Jubilee.

It will replace the current one which was created in 1996, and will the 23rd figure of the queen; the first was created in the 1930s when she was still a child.

Other stars to be turned into wax figures at the London attraction include Olympic diver Tom Daley - who will be unveiled in February and suspended in the air - and 'Twilight Saga' star Taylor Lautner.

Last month, Oscar winning actress Kate Winslet was the latest person to be added to the extensive collection of waxworks, which includes Justin Bieber, Cheryl Cole and Kylie Minogue.
