Her Majesty the Queen paid a surprise visit to see her newly born grandson at St Mary's Hospital in London — or did she?

“Her Majesty” was spotted leaving St Mary's Hospital in a black cab by a handful of well-wishers on April 23.

But on closer inspection, it was clear that it was a waxwork version of the Queen, not the real one.

It turns out that it was a publicity stunt by Madame Tussauds, which will soon unveil a waxwork of Meghan Markle that they have dubbed “Her Royal Likeness.”

HM The Queen paid a surprise visit to visit her newly born grandson at the Lindo Wing - or did she?

Her Majesty was spotted leaving St Mary's Hospital, Hammersmith, by only a handful of well-wishers and P1rate5 who chased the vehicle and had an exclusive interview as the taxi became stuck in traffic.

OK hands up it was a publicity stunt by Madame Tussauds who will shortly be unveiling a waxwork of Meghan Markle, who they have dubbed Her Royal Likeness!

One question remains - will the Real Queen be amused?
