Madame Tussauds separates Sussex waxworks from rest of Royal Family

Madame Tussauds has removed its wax figures of Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, from its display of Britain’s royal family.

Washington Post reports that the move came less than 24 hours after the couple stunned the world by announcing that they would be “stepping back” from their roles as senior royals and splitting their time between Britain and North America.

The waxworks were unveiled in May 2018, ahead of the couple’s wedding in Windsor.

At the time, the museum said: “There is a lot of love out there for Meghan and Harry and we’re following their lead by inviting the great British public to join the couple in their wedding celebrations here at Madame Tussauds London.”

Less than two years later, the figures will no longer stand alongside the rest of the royal family. They have been moved by the wax museum’s staff. The likenesses of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, William and Catherine, remain on display alongside figures of Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, Prince Philip.
