Madame Tussauds London has removed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's wax figures from the royal section of the museum soon after they stepped back from their roles.

“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,” Steve Davies, general manager of the museum, told The Independent. “From today Meghan and Harry’s figures will no longer appear in our royal family set.”

The decision follows Meghan and Harry's Tuesday shock announcement that they are taking a step back as senior members of the Royal family, and seeking financial independence.

The statues of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were originally placed next to that of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
