  • A Twitter account called "Royals Take The 6" is posting photos of wax versions of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle around Toronto.

  • There was also an accompanying Instagram account, which appeared to be deleted on Saturday.

  • It's not immediately clear who — or what organization, brand, or company, if any — is running the account.

  • The wax figures of the duke and duchess have been photographed at Toronto's famous CN Tower observation deck; a local brewery; and a law firm, as a nod to Markle's days as an actress on "Suits."

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are rumored to be moving to Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada, as they start anew following last week's announcement that they'll "step back" from their royal duties starting in the spring.

On Monday, Harry reportedly landed on Vancouver Island, where Meghan and baby Archie have been since earlier in January. Paparazzi have wasted no time following the duke and duchess, with some photographers reportedly attempting to take pictures with long lenses inside their home.

In the midst of Prince Harry and Meghan's tumultuous situation, one account — called "Royals Take The 6" — has taken a comical approach to the couple's arrival in Canada by photographing hyper-realistic wax figures of the duke and duchess around Toronto. The "Royals Take The 6" Instagram account appeared to be deleted on Saturday, but the photos are available on its Twitter account.

"The 6" refers to a nickname of Toronto, which was apparently popularized by Drake, the rapper and native of the city.

The account's first photo showed the Harry and Meghan figures standing in front of the CN Tower, an iconic observation tower in Toronto

"We made it to #Canada! Our first stop was the iconic @CNTower. These #views have us feeling like a couple of true #canucks. Although, it is a bit colder on this side of the pond. Stay tuned to see where we head next!" the caption read.

One commenter on the Instagram post viewed by Insider seemed to be fooled by the wax figures, writing: "Love that you are here. Hope in true Canadian style you are given privacy."

A user responded, writing: "You realize they are wax, right?" and the original commenter responded: "Omg! LOL."

The figures also stopped by a local Toronto brewery...

...and visited a Toronto law firm, Goodmans LLP, where the caption referenced Markle's acting role in the TV series "Suits."

Wax figures of Prince Harry and Markle were at one point featured at Madame Tussauds in London, but the statues were removed one day after the couple initially shared their plans to step away from royal life, via an Instagram post on January 8.

It's not immediately clear who — or what organization, company, or brand, if any — is behind the "Royals Take The 6" account.

When Insider contacted the account on Instagram, the user wrote in a message: "Hi there. Thanks for following along with our travels. We are just getting settled into our new and home and are enjoying visiting the sights of the 6. At this time we are not participating in any interviews."

The message ended with a mysterious invitation: "Stay tuned for where we go next."

Followers and fans seem to be, at the very least, entertained by the wax figures

"That doesn't look at all like prince harry," one Instagram wrote in the comments of the account's most recent photo, which shows the couple in front of a sign for Canadian news network CityTV.

"Hahahaaaaa!!!!! this is so WEIRD! love it!! So who's paying for all their security????" another user commented on the original Instagram photo.
