Greenpeace activists swipe Emmanuel Macron waxwork from Paris's Grevin Museum before using it in anti-Russia protest
A WAX figure of French president Emmanuel Macron was yesterday stolen by Greenpeace activists — then used in an anti-Russia protest. The £35,000 depiction of the 47-year-old head of state has often been compared to a Thunderbird puppet, or a Ken and Barbie doll. 3 3 Two women and a man disguised as staff took the £35,000 model from Paris's Grevin Museum. They placed the figure in front of the Russian embassy, urging France to halt gas and fertiliser imports from Moscow. Greenpeace's Jean-Francois Julliard said: 'France is playing a double game. "Macron embodies this. He supports Ukraine but encourages French firms to continue trading with Russia.' When it was created in 2018, even museum staff admitted the Macron waxwork did not look much like Mr Macron. Grevin's director, Yves Delhommeau, said: 'A tense and anguished face, a frozen statue that doesn't live, this is not beautiful, it is something that just doesn't work.' Mr Delhommeau said President Macron did not meet with them in order to scan his face, so sculptors were forced to work with pictures of the 40-year-old. Others went online to ridicule the model, saying it was one of the worst depictions of a public figure ever made. The Grevin Museum is often compared to Madame Tussauds, the wax museum founded in London in 1835 by the French sculptor Marie Tussaud. Like the British version, Grevin displays the waxworks of numerous famous figures from around the world. Little Mix waxworks unveiled at Madame Tussauds Both museums are massive tourist attractions, with hundreds of thousands of visitors enjoying the waxworks every year. 3

Princess Kate's New Wax Figure Revealed at Madame Tussauds
London's Madame Tussauds museum unveiled on Wednesday a new wax figure of Princess Catherine of Wales, wife of Crown Prince William. The new figure stands next to one of her husband and those of King Charles III and Queen Camilla, AFP reported. The Princess of Wales, 43, is wearing a sparkly pink Jenny Packham gown and silver pumps, as well as a Royal Victorian Order blue sash. 'The new figure is styled in honor of an evening outfit Kate wore to King Charles' second annual Diplomatic Reception in December 2023,' Madame Tussauds said. It is finished with an exact replica of the Lover's Knot tiara, which had been worn in the 1980s by the museum's figure of Princess Diana. Senior general manager at Madame Tussauds, Steve Blackburn, said the Princess of Wales, also known as Kate, was 'majestically crafted by our talented studio team.' She 'has been sculpted to ensure her resemblance is fit for a future queen, alongside her dashing husband,' Blackburn added. Kate's new double has been put in place nearly 14 months after the princess announced she had been diagnosed with an unspecified cancer and was having chemotherapy in March 2024. The shock announcement came only weeks after officials revealed that King Charles III, 76, had also been diagnosed with cancer. The London tourist attraction first launched wax figures of William and Kate in April 2012, a year after their wedding.
