Meghan Markle, Harry's Waxworks Moved From Royals To 'Party Zone' At Madame Tussauds

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's waxworks at Madame Tussauds in London have been moved away from the royal family to join the Hollywood elite, a report says.

Last year, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex revealed their decision to step back as working royals. Following their announcement, their statues in the museum were moved away from Queen Elizabeth II and the rest of Britain's royal family.

A year later, Madame Tussauds announced that Prince Harry and Markle's waxworks have a new permanent home at the "Awards Party" zone, CNN reported.

Prince Harry and Markle's statues will be displayed alongside those of their real-life celebrity friends Victoria and David Beckham, George Clooney and Priyanka Chopra when the museum reopens Monday. The zone also features other A-list celebrities such as Brad Pitt, Dwayne Johnson and Nicole Kidman.

Madame Tussauds further shared that it has given the statues a "refreshed look." In new photos of their waxworks, Prince Harry and Markle's statues noticeably changed costumes.

Markle's statue is wearing a blue form-fitting dress while Prince Harry's is sporting a navy suit — the same outfits they wore in a royal engagement shortly before they announced their decision to quit royal duties.

Prince Harry and Markle's waxworks used to stand alongside those of Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip, Prince Charles, Camilla Parker Bowles, Prince William and Kate Middleton. The museum explained that it moved the Sussexes' statues to reflect their "decision to swap Frogmore for Hollywood" and their "progressive new role within the Royal institution."

"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," the attraction's then-general manager Steve Davies said in a statement at the time.

The two waxworks of the Duchess of Sussex were first revealed in 2019 to coincide with the royal wedding, with each statue costing roughly £150,000 ($210,000) to make, CNN noted. They are now being displayed at Madame Tussauds locations in both London and New York.
