After THAT new royal photo it’s Harry and Meghan’s turn: Couple are snapped attending One Young World summit days after publication of King’s picture with Camilla, William and Kate

  • Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have released new photos of themselves
  • It comes days after the publication of an official picture of the Royal Family
  • The couple are shown attending the One Young World summit for youth leaders
  • The images were taken by celebrity photographer Misan Harriman

No one could accuse the Sussexes of not being on trend. Just days after the publication of an official picture of the Royal Family they left behind in Britain, Harry and Meghan released new photos of themselves. 

The couple are shown attending the One Young World summit for youth leaders in Manchester last month. 

The first image shows Meghan in a red blouse and matching trousers with a chunky gold ring and earrings. 

The duchess stands face on, looking into the camera and holding one of Harry’s fingers. The duke stands behind her at an angle, smiling in a smart black suit and tie. 

The stance is reminiscent of the couple’s 2021 Time magazine photo shoot, in which Meghan stood in the centre and Harry stood at an angle behind her with a hand resting on her shoulder.

In the second image, taken ‘just moments’ before the opening ceremony of the summit, the couple are standing next to one each other, side-on to the camera, holding hands and looking out at the audience. 

The images were taken by celebrity photographer Misan Harriman, director of the Southbank Centre and a friend of the couple who has taken photos of celebrities including Rihanna, Stormzy, Tom Cruise and Giorgio Armani. 

He posted them online last night – days after the release of an official portrait of the so-called ‘New Fab Four’: King Charles, the Queen Consort and the Prince and Princess of Wales. The phrase ‘Fab Four’ was once used to refer to William, Harry, Kate and Meghan. 

Following the Sussexes’ departure from Britain and the Queen’s death last month, the picture stressed that Charles, William and their wives will be the new core of the Royal Family moving forward.

The pictures of Harry and Meghan overshadowed images of the King and the Queen Consort’s successful first public visit since the end of the Royal mourning period. 

Charles and Camilla were met with large crowds as they undertook one of the late Queen’s last wishes and conferred city status on Dunfermline in Scotland. 

There is no suggestion the Sussexes deliberately timed the release of their images in an attempt to eclipse the King’s visit. But is illustrative of the fact that since they moved to the US, they have not co-ordinated their activities with those of other members of the Royal Family, resulting in several clashes. One Young World hosts an annual summit for young leaders to ‘be inspired, share learnings, and connect’ as well as ‘raise the bar for what it is possible to achieve as leaders, individually and collectively’. Meghan gave a speech at the opening ceremony of the event in Manchester. 

Addressing the 2,000-strong crowd, with representatives from 190 countries, she said it was ‘nice to be back in the UK’ and described the delegates as ‘the future, but also the present, driving the positive and necessary change needed across the globe’.
