Get excited to pose with Meghan Markle . . . well, sort of. The 36-year-old former actress is getting her very own Madame Tussauds wax figure in London. The museum announced [2] it would be debuting the figure in May, just before her wedding [3] to Prince Harry.

"World famous Madame Tussauds London will be safely delivered of a future princess, bride to be and former queen of the courtroom in May 2018," the museum's general manager, Edward Fuller, wrote in a statement. "Her Royal Likeness, Meghan Markle, will take her position alongside future husband Prince Harry in time for the wedding of the year."

Details about the wax figure's outfit and pose haven't been revealed, but it will reportedly "reflect an iconic moment in Meghan's royal journey so far." Edward explained, "It's clear that the public has already taken Meghan to their hearts. One half of arguably the most famous couple in the world right now she's already made her own mark as a humanitarian and role model. We're excited to give guests the chance to 'meet' her in attraction later this year."

Madame Tussauds New York is also set to unveil another Meghan wax figure in the Summer — making it the first time a US citizen has joined the British royal family in 80 years.
