The royal family already has several tributes in Madame Tussauds locations around the world, and while wax replicas don't always look like the real thing, sometimes they can be shockingly realistic. Here are some of the most lifelike royal wax figures from Madame Tussauds locations around the world — and no, we won't judge you if you double-take.
