Waxwork stars of Madame Tussauds queue outside the attraction ahead of its reopening

Bumping into just one of them on the street would be a surprise, so you can understand this dog walker’s shock when she found Donald Trump, the Duchess of Sussex and Taylor Swift standing side by side in central London.

Also hanging around were Prince Harry, Victoria Beckham and Beyoncé… or rather their waxwork images. 

They were all in a socially-distanced queue – a promotional stunt for the reopening of Madame Tussauds this weekend.

Waxworks of the Queen – who was having her make-up reapplied – and Boris Johnson were also stood outside the museum in Marylebone.

Mr Johnson and, surprisingly, Mr Trump’s faces were even covered with PPE masks, a reminder of these post-lockdown times.

Madame Tussauds closed on March 20 but will reopen tomorrow with social distancing measures in place.

Strict social distancing measures will be in place to ensure the safety of guests and staff, said the general manager of Madame Tussauds London, Tim Waters.

He said: ‘We’re encouraging guests to wear their facemasks when they come into the building.
