*Sixth book in the Royals Series*
It's been nearly 3 years since Jackie Baker married her long time friend, Prince Harry, with the eyes of the world on her. Now, with a one year old and twins on the way, Jackie must balance the pressures of her chi...
"Welcome, Your Highnesses!" the director of Madame Tussaud's in London gushed, dropping down into a curtsy.
Jackie and Harry shook her hand, saying in unison, "It's good to be here."
The press cameras snapped away, all craning for a good shot of the royal couple. Stories had been running about possible marital issues in the Windsor household, citing Harry's absence at Mary Kate's bedside and the time they spent apart, Jackie at York Cottage and Harry at Kensington Palace 1B. Of course, the palace ignored the rumors, so it was up to Jackie and Harry to prove them wrong during their engagement.
"Jackie! Over here!" one photographer shouted.
"How's Mary Kate?" another asked.
Jackie ignored their calls, keeping her back to the cameras. After the drone incident the week before, Jackie was hardly in the mood to be friendly to the paps.
The director gave Jackie and Harry a brief tour. A few select members of the press were able to follow, snapping pictures the whole time. The royal couple was shown how much work went in to making a wax figure- a process they were familiar with, because they had each sat for about 5 hours while artists got measurements of every part of their body to make their statues about a year ago. Jackie could remember the artist measuring the length of her earlobe when she wore heavy earrings, and taking note of every freckle and blemish.
"We're so thrilled to add the two of you to our Royal Family collection," the director said. "We have the Queen, Prince Phillip, Prince Charles, the Duchess of Cornwall, and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge."
"Maybe in a few years you can add the children," Jackie said thoughtfully.
"You'll need a lot of wax," Harry joked, earning laughs from the press.
"Ready for the big reveal?" asked the director, motioning for Jackie and Harry to follow her into the Royal Family exhibit.
Everyone laughed at the sight of two figures shrouded in red velvet cloths, even when they were totally covered, Jackie could tell by the shape and height it was her and Harry. Jackie and Harry admired the other members of the family, which were incredibly life-like. Even the way Wax Figure Kate's hair curled at the ends was spot on.

Then, the director asked Jackie and Harry to stand on either side of the covered figures, and on the count of three, they pulled the cloths off of their wax twins.
There was clapping and flashes as Jackie and Harry admired the figures. They were dressed in replicas of the outfits they wore two years ago while on their tour of Canada when attending a state dinner hosted by the military. Harry's figure wore his uniform, and was missing his current beard. Jackie's figure wore a strapless gown, diamond necklace and earrings, and the Lover's Knot tiara. Every aspect of the figures were perfect, from the fine lines next to Harry's eyes when he smiled to the dimples at the corners of Jackie's mouth.
