Wigan Warriors will play the Rhinos in the other semi- final.
Wigan will host a game on Friday, while St Helens will play a game on Saturday.
The game was preceded by a minute's silence to honor Queen Elizabeth II, who passed away on Thursday.
In 1960 and 1967, the Queen presented the Challenge Cup at Wembley as patron of the Rugby Football League.
The Terriers had only lost once at home all year in the regular season but they were outclassed by the Red Devil.
When Watkins ran in after the visitors broke through the middle, he made it back- to-back scores.
After being sin-binned in the first half for a shoulder charge, the home side sought a way back into the game in the second half, but it was too little, too late.
They were unable to convert their pressure into points despite forcing three goal-line drop- outs.
The last-minute try was scored by Ackers.
The half-back failed a head injury assessment, which forced him out of the game at half-time, and he won't be able to play in the semi-finals.
The Giants include Lolohea, Cudjoe, King, Leutele, Senior, Fages, Russell, Yates, Jones, McQueen, Hill, Levi, and Trout.
Pryce, Ikahihifo, and Greenwood were added to the team.
Sneyd, Dupree, Ackers, Watkins, Taylor, Wright and Cross are all from the same club.
Atkin, Ormondroyd, and Luckley were added to the mix.
There is a sin-bin.
