Legoland Windsor Resort is celebrating the relocation of the Cambridges to Windsor with a miniature model move.

The brick version of its new royal neighbours was unveiled on Wednesday in a family scene complete with a Royal Removals service.

Over 19 hours, a total of 4,100 Lego bricks were used to build the model, including the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, children Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis – and the family dog Orla.

The royal parents were seen unpacking their downsized furniture: a bright orange settee, a grand piano, a grandfather clock and a children’s toy box.

Meanwhile their children play with Orla, who is made from just 15 Lego bricks. The display sits in front of the 39,000 brick Windsor Castle model.

Speaking about creating the Cambridges in miniature form, Paula Laughton, chief model maker at Legoland Windsor Resort, said: “The resort has always had a special connection with the royal family, so to welcome our new neighbours, our talented model makers are giving the royals a brick-tastic housewarming present by recreating the family in miniature form.

“The Royal Removal scene will go on display throughout September, and we hope to welcome the Duke and Duchess and their family to the resort to see their figures very soon!”

Visitors can view the scene until the end of autumn.
