Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Madame Tussauds waxworks split up

Madame Tussauds has separated its waxwork models of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, with the duchess’s being placed alongside figures of her A-list friends.

The Duchess of Sussex’s model has taken up a spot next to her celebrity wedding guests Tom Hardy, the Beckhams and actress Priyanka Chopra.

Harry’s waxwork has rejoined the rest of the Royal Family replicas in a different room, bosses at the London attraction announced on Monday.

Steve Davies, general manager at Madame Tussauds London said the move reflects Meghan’s “independent celebrity status”.

He said: "We're always listening to what people have to say about their favourite stars.

"Meghan continues to carve out her own modern take on life as a royal and we want to mirror her independent celebrity status in the attraction.

"It's not necessarily forever - and we're not splitting our loved-up couple.

“We're just allowing Meghan to mingle in her more-familiar celebrity circle for a while."

It is the first time the waxworks will be separated since they were unveiled before the royal wedding in May last year.
