A new waxwork of the late Princess Diana has been unveiled at the Grevin Museum in Paris, leaving many royal fans confused by the apparent resemblance.
The waxwork, released in Paris, showcases Diana wearing her infamous “revenge dress”, which she wore in 1994, when news of her marriage breakdown with King Charles became public.
Taking to Reddit, one user wrote: “Apparently it’s very difficult to do a convincing Princess Diana.”
Another described it as looking like “Diana’s own evil twin”, with another comparing the waxwork to a “mid-western divorced mum from the 1990s”.

Another compared it to “Judge Judy playing Diana for Halloween”, with another adding: “Diana is beloved, we are not impressed.”
The late princess passed away following a car crash in Paris, in the early hours of August 31, 1997.
Diana and Charles’ eldest son, Prince William, was seen this week alongside his wife, Princess Kate, as she stunned fans in a green velvet dress.
The Prince and Princess of Wales attended the Royal Variety Performance for the sixth time, and the future Queen sent royal fans into chaos.

She was seen wearing the Talbot Runhof Bobonne green velvet gown alongside William in a class tuexdo.
The sold-out dress was paired with dark green Manolo Blahnik heels, a Jenny Packham “Casa” clutch bag in silver, and Giulia Barela earrings.
The designer behind the dress has shared how he and his team discovered the royal was wearing the stunning costume.
Co-founder at Talbot Runhof, Adrian Runhof, said Buckingham Palace only notified the company the future Queen would be wearing their gown half an hour before her appearance.

“Our name and our dress have been posted worldwide, so we are very thankful to her,” Mr Runhof told People magazine.
He continued: “We think she is great, we respect her, and it’s a great honour for us that she picked this dress, that she obviously liked it enough to buy it and select it for the event last night.”
Mr Runhof explained the dress has been in their collection for multiple seasons and he believes Kate bought it through a department store.
He said: “I think she bought it a few seasons ago and found it in her wardrobe and thought, ‘Why don’t I wear this? It’s so beautiful’.”
The royals have a reputation for being on the receiving end of very poor waxwork
