Notably, the statues of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were placed next to the statue of Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

Madame Tussauds is the famous world museum which has replicas of famous celebrities & historic icons in themed galleries. Over 250 wax models of celebrities are displayed in the museum, including the figures of royal family i.e. Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip, Prince Charles, and Prince William and his wife Kate, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

“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,” said general manager Steve Davies.

He also added, “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.”

Meanwhile, the decision of the museum created a stir on social media. Netizens are slamming Madame Tussauds for separating the statues of the two from the royal family.

This makes me want to avoid Britain.

Americans tend to favor Britain, but after seeing the way Meghan was treated, I’m not visiting anytime soon.

That was some sexist, racist, anti-American BS.

Last I checked they are still members of the Royal family. This is just a lame act by @MadameTussauds

This is why they're leaving. Britain is just beyond disgusting now. We are also aware of your history with the monarchy, so it's clear that this is a snub to the couple. But honestly, it's your loss. Meghan & Harry are the future. Long may they reign in our hearts. #RIPMonarchy

They are still family. How petty of you.

No wonder they are leaving, the majority of the press has been terrible to them.#ShameOnYou

Why wasn't Prince Philip removed when he retired from public duties? He is no longer seen in public, if you are removing the Sussexes for their desire for a bit more privacy, I think you should do the same for the retired prince. But I guess that wouldn't be white of you.
