The Queen Consort has undergone a transformation ahead of the coronation on 6 May.

Camilla will be crowned alongside her husband the King in a historic ceremony in Westminster Abbey.

And she has been given a new look ahead of the occasion.

Madame Tussauds London has unveiled a new waxwork of Camilla, showing her styled in a dark blue gown, and you can see the new figure in its full glory in the video below...

"We're incredibly proud of our centuries-long link with the Palace and what better way to mark the official start of this new chapter in the history of the British monarchy than with the creation of our brand new soon-to-be Queen Camilla to stand alongside her husband, the King."

It comes after the flagship museum in the capital opened a new Royal Palace experience in the lead-up to the coronation on May 6.

Visitors will be invited to sign a coronation book which will be preserved in the attraction’s archives.

Just recently, Camilla's son, Tom Parker Bowles, appeared on The News Agents podcast and made rare revelations about his mother, including the two ingredients that are likely to be banned from the coronation menu next month.

Asked by hosts Emily Maitlis and Jon Sopel about the food the 75-year-old would not like served, Mr Parker Bowles said: "Chilli, garlic. I think that garlic can make your breath smell somewhat so I think just for purely social reasons you wouldn't have garlic."

He added: "She doesn't like chilli. She doesn't like massive spice. And I think if you're walking around, and I do not speak from experience on this, but you're walking around and meeting lots of people… I think you have to be a little bit careful not to get the tummy too excited."
