Princess Diana returned to Paris on Thursday as one of Europe’s oldest wax museums unveiled a new figure of the British royal in the so-called “revenge dress”, decades after her tragic death in the city.

The statue was ordered in Paris after the director of the Grevin Museum visited London and came away underwhelmed by the Diana likeness at Madame Tussauds, prompting him to commission his own version, museum officials said.
