The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are moving to New York. The auspicious occasion, to mark the royal couple's upcoming first wedding anniversary, is actually the unveiling of their wax figures at Madame Tussauds New York, on 42nd Street. Now you can have your picture taken with them.

Kate's figure has been outfitted in an officially authorized replica of the full-length, Alexander McQueen gown from last summer's BAFTA Brits to Watch event, along with the Jimmy Choo platform sandals and clutch. On her finger: a "painstakingly accurate" recreation of the sapphire and diamond engagement ring that previously belonged to Princess Diana. William wears a double-breasted, six button two-piece tuxedo especially tailored for Tussauds by Gieves & Hawkes.

Though the Duke and Duchess won't be at the ceremony in person, a Tussauds spokesperson says that they both have been actively involved in the preparation of their likenesses.
