Waxy Wills could be a hit

London - A flattering waxwork of Britain's Prince William was unveiled at Madame Tussauds in London on Wednesday, with experts predicting that the figure is bound to become a key hit with female visitors.
The first model of the 23-year-old prince, who has just graduated from university, is expected to pip singer Robbie Williams in the popularity stakes at the famous London waxwork gallery.
Modellers used photographs as inspiration for the waxwork, as William, second in line to the British throne, could not spare the time for sittings.
A grinning William, said by many to be the spitting image of his mother, the late Princess Diana, is dressed in a dark suit, blue shirt and red tie, and has his hands in his pockets.
William, over 1.80m tall, towers over his father, the Prince of Wales, and his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, in the "World Stage" area of the museum.
Although the young prince is known to have developed a bald patch, his model has a healthy head of hair.
"We may have to review that in a few years time," said a Tussauds' spokesperson. - Sapa-dpa
