The museum said in a statement Thursday that the waxworks of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had been removed from its display to "mirror their progressive new role within the Royal institution."
"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 Steve Davies, the museum's general manager.
The wax figures of the couple were unveiled in May 2018 ahead of their wedding in Windsor, England. In the display of the royal family, Harry's and Meghan's figures had stood next to those of Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, Prince Philip, and of Prince William and his wife, Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge.
Davies said the figures were extremely popular and well-loved among visitors and will "remain an important feature." He did not say where the waxworks would be moved.
Madame Tussauds' New York location is following suit. A spokesperson said in a statement: "Our experiences bring iconic moments to life; to reflect the announcement we will be moving the popular figures to another area in the attraction upon their return to Madame Tussauds New York."
"We look forward to spending more time with the couple in North America and we will continue to watch to see what the next chapter holds for them," the statement continued.
Harry and Meghan shocked the public when they announced their plans Wednesday to "step back as senior members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent," while still supporting the queen.
