Prince Harry’s and Meghan Markle’s wax statues moved away from rest of the royal family
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle recently shared the news of their departure from the royal family and people were moved after hearing their decision. They will reportedly work on becoming financially independent as they will be stepping away from respective royal duties.
After this announcement, Madame Tussauds moved the wax models of Prince Harry and Meghan away from the rest of the royal members. The picture was shared on their twitter handle along with the caption “We’ve got to respect their wishes”.

People found this to be a racist decision and could not quite understand why the statues had to be separated from the rest of the family, at all. Many people also called it an immature and petty move.
Here are some of the reactions shared on social media
You’re just as vile as the tabloids. You have just proven their point — #BoycottMadameTussauds https://t.co/vwEwfcaNAD

This was a very foolish decision. You will have a very difficult time convincing people that this move wasn’t influenced by racism.

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

There’s always so much to do when I visit London, so thanks for helping me cross one thing off the list. I guess I’m just surprised that your Twitter is run by a petty 14-year old.

Wow. We will be delighted to welcome them with open, non-racist arms. Send ’em over. They’re ours now. We got this.

The statues were revealed in 2018 by Madame Tussauds, just before Prince Harry’s and Meghan’s wedding.
