Britain's Prince Charles' new waxwork was created in the 'greenest' way possible. Staff at London's Madame Tussauds museum took every effort to ensure the updated statue was as environmentally friendly as the 58-year-old royal himself.

A source told Britain's Daily Express newspaper: "Tussauds thought it would be appropriate to ensure our Prince Charles was green.

"His face was re-sculptured using the original model, the body was recycled and clay - a natural material - and beeswax, as well as organic pigment, was used."

The green creative process even involved designers rejecting cars in favor of bicycles for their journeys from the central London attraction to the museum's studio in Acton, west London.

The source added: "There is a fair bit of to-ing and fro-ing between central London and Acton so everybody involved cut out car travel wherever possible and got on their bikes."

The new Charles waxwork is to be unveiled Wednesday. Keen environmentalist Charles is an ardent campaigner on green issues, and was awarded the 10th annual Global Environmental Citizen Award from Harvard Medical School's Centre for Health and the Global Environment earlier this year.
