MANILA, Philippines – Famous wax collection Madame Tussauds has moved the wax figures of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle away from the rest of the royal family at the London museum.
The decision was made after the couple announced that they will step back as senior members of the royal family and spend more time in North America.
Madame Tussauds announced the news in a shady tweet, saying, "We've just got to respect their wishes," followed by a shrugging emoji and a #Megxit hashtag.

According to a Reuters report, the two wax figures will be displayed in a separate section, no longer beside the rest of the royal family – Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip, Prince Charles, Prince William, and Kate.
“Alongside the rest of the world, we are reacting to the surprising news that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be stepping back as senior Royals,” Madame Tussauds General Manager Steve Davies said in a statement.
"As two of our most popular and well-loved figures, they will of course remain an important feature at Madame Tussauds London as we watch to see what the next chapter holds for them,” he added. – Rappler.com
