Harry and Meghan have been removed from Madame Tussaud's.

Now there's a slap in the face!

Having run away from the clutches of the Royal Family, they are now in the secure embrace of American media conglomerates. Which are of course free of the hostility and racism Meghan suffered. Happy endings are so great.

Side note, but I've never understood the attraction of Tussaud's.

I am NO fan of Harry and Meghan or their detractors.  However, this does seem petty to me.  Although they have forfeited their HRH titles, they are both still upper echelon members of the royal family - currently Harry is 6th in line to the throne and his son Archie is 7th.  Harry will be son and brother to future kings and as the son of  the late Princess Diana, he will always hold a special place in the heart of the people of the United Kingdom.

Also, does this not add fuel to the fire (real or imagined) that Meghan is not "welcome" ANYWHERE near this family (wax or otherwise).

I’m thinking the living royals would be more attractive to museum goers than a deceased consort.  Charles and Camilla would be obvious candidates, if they aren’t there already out of frame.

Aren’t all the people displayed at Tussaud’s dead?  After all they are made of wax!  Tee hee.
