Harry and Megan are separated from the royal family even at the Wax Museum.
Less than a day after Prince Harry and his wife, Megan Markle, announced their intention to step down from their royal duties, the famous Madame Tussauds wax statue was moved by the Prince and his wife statues from the royal family section, away from the statues of his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth and the rest of the family.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced on Wednesday that they intend to allocate their time between North America and the United Kingdom, to play a "new progressive role" and to give up their royal duties, assuring that they will become financially independent.
A royal source said that senior members of the royal family were "disappointed" by the move.
The Madame Tussauds Museum, which includes more than 250 wax patterns of famous figures, said that the two statues "will be moved to a separate section away from the section in which the statues of Queen Elizabeth and her husband Prince Philip, and her son Prince Charles, and her grandson Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton" are shown.
"We are taking this step in response to the surprising news that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex intend to give up their duties as prominent members of the royal family," the museum's director general, Steve Davis, said.
He added in a statement: "Because they are two of the most beloved and popular statues we have, they will of course remain among the most prominent exhibits in Madame Tussauds London, and we will continue to see what the next chapter of their lives carry for them."
