The Duchess of Sussex's waxwork is being separated from Prince Harry to spend more time with her A-list friends, Madame Tussauds has announced.
Meghan Markle's figure will be soon be alongside showbiz royalty to reflect her "independent celebrity status", the London attraction said.
The American former actress, who starred in TV drama Suits, will take up a spot next to her wedding guests Tom Hardy, the Beckhams and actress Priyanka Chopra.
Harry will rejoin the rest of the Royal Family replicas in a different room.
"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," said Steve Davies, general manager at Madame Tussauds London.
"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."
