Madame Tussauds' Creepy Royal Wax Figures Spark Backlash

0:00On May 1st, Madame Tassauds and London just repositioned their wax figures of Prince William and Princess Catherine to celebrate the couple's 15th wedding anniversary, but the move has sparked a ton of backlash. Fans are calling the figures creepy, especially William's face, with some saying it leaves them terrified. These models are part of the Royal Palace exhibit and have been updated multiple times over the years. The figures first appeared together back in 2012 for the couple's first anniversary and William's solo version debuted even earlier in 2005. They've gotten tweaks to match the Royal's changing looks, like Catherine's latest update this year. Now they're dressed in fancy outfits from a Buckingham Palace event last December, Catherine in a pink gown with tiara and sashes, William in a tux, with medals. Visitors have strong feelings either way. Some Royal watches are in tears over how off they look, blaming tiny flaws that stand out since the real couple gets photographed non-stop. Wax experts say it's tough to nail that perfect mix of real and fake without tipping into uncanny valley territory, but not everyone's hating plenty praise the solid likenesses.
