Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, once prominent figures in the Royal section at Madame Tussauds, are now at the mercy of a re-evaluation process that could see their waxworks ousted from the prestigious museum.
According to royal commentator Neil Sean, the couple’s transition from the Royal family to the world of celebrity has raised concerns about their continued presence at Madame Tussauds.
While the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have already been relocated from the Royal section to the celebrity area, which houses stars like George Clooney and Benedict Cumberbatch, their future at the museum remains uncertain.
Madame Tussauds periodically reviews its exhibits, and Harry and Meghan find themselves on the re-evaluation list alongside other notable personalities such as Tom Hardy and Kim Kardashian.
The saga began in May 2018 when Madame Tussauds unveiled lifelike waxworks of Harry and Meghan in anticipation of their royal wedding.
Initially positioned next to senior royals like the Queen and Prince Philip, the couple’s statues were later shifted following their decision to step back from royal duties in January 2020.
Steve Davis, the general manager of Madame Tussauds, expressed the institution’s response to the Sussexes’ departure, stating that their figures would no longer grace the Royal family set.
Subsequently, the waxworks found a new home in the Hollywood section, where they have remained popular attractions for visitors.
Despite their relocation to the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, recent developments suggest that Harry and Meghan’s waxworks may once again be on the move.
As the couple settled in California and embarked on new ventures to achieve financial independence, including lucrative deals with Netflix and Spotify, their status at Madame Tussauds hangs in the balance.
With projects like the docu-series “Heart of Invictus” and the animated series “Burl” in the works, Harry and Meghan continue to make waves in the entertainment industry.
Residing in Montecito with their children Archie Harrison and Lilibet Diana, the couple’s waxworks symbolize a bygone era that Madame Tussauds must now reassess in light of their evolving roles.
As the world eagerly anticipates the next chapter in Harry and Meghan’s journey, the fate of their waxworks serves as a poignant reminder of the ever-changing landscape of fame and fortune.
Madame Tussauds stands at a crossroads, tasked with deciding the legacy that Harry and Meghan’s likenesses will leave behind in the annals of celebrity culture.
