No hard feelings? London's Madame Tussauds moves Prince Harry and Meghan waxworks from royals

The couple has now been moved to their brand new Awards Party zone to "reflect their move from Frogmore to Hollywood".

A year after Prince Harry and his wife Meghan left their royal duties to move to Los Angeles, Madame Tussauds in London has decided that the waxwork models of the couple now belong in the attraction’s Hollywood zone and not with the other members of the House of Windsor.

The couple, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, quit royal duties to forge new independent careers on the other side of the Atlantic, and have since signed deals to deliver and produce content for Netflix, Spotify and Apple.

Now their waxwork models have been shifted from their place in the royal section of Madame Tussauds in London to join other celebrities, the famous attraction said.

"Harry and Meghan have moved zones; Madame Tussauds London has moved its figures of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to their brand new Awards Party zone to reflect their move from Frogmore to Hollywood," Madame Tussauds said in a statement, referring to the couple's former British home Frogmore Cottage.

Later this month, a television documentary series on mental health issues co-created by Harry and US chat show queen Oprah Winfrey premieres on streaming service Apple TV+.

Ahead of the broadcasts, Harry appeared on the "Armchair Expert" podcast hosted by U.S. actor Dax Shephard, in which he likened his life as a royal to the "Truman Show", a film about a man who unwittingly grew up as the central character in a popular worldwide television reality show.

He also disclosed that when he first began dating Meghan, they met in a supermarket to avoid paparazzi photographers, and that the couple enjoyed more freedom after moving to California with young son Archie.

"Living here now, I can actually lift my head and actually I feel different, my shoulders have dropped, so have hers, you can walk around feeling a little bit more free," he said.

“I get to take Archie on the back of my bicycle. I would never have the chance to do that.”

He is a fortunate man who achieved what he wished and what his mother strived for but couldn't get.

It was couples choice to leave royal palace then what’s the issue. So removal of waxworks shouldn’t be an issue …

It makes sense for Madame Tussauds to move Harry and Meghan out of the royal section since they have resigned from royal duties.

Does it make them less Royal because they have resigned from Royal duties?? You call diamond a stone if you prefer but its still a diamond.

@Khalil The Royal family members are no diamonds. If you watch Crown, you will see that they all the faults ordinary people have. Pretty messed up past and present.
