A new picture of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle cradling baby Archie today surfaced on social media, hours after the couple’s bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Amid the huge fallout from last night’s explosive revelations, the couple’s friend Misan Harriman – who took the photograph released to announce Meghan’s second pregnancy – shared a previously unreleased image of the couple.
The picture shows the Duke of Sussex, 36. cuddling his pregnant wife, 39, as she holds Archie in a lush Los Angeles garden. The toddler’s face is hidden from view behind that of his mother’s.
Like the previous photograph, both the Duke and Duchess are seen barefoot with the same large tree in the background. However, Meghan is seen wearing a different dress to the previous image.
Mr Harriman shared the image to mark International Women’s Day, in a post made hours after the couple revealed their second child would be a girl during their Oprah interview.
The photographer, who took Meghan’s pregnancy announcement photograph remotely using an iPad, said: ‘What wonderful news to celebrate on International Women’s Day! Congratulations my friends, and welcome to the girldad club H!’
It comes as stony-faced royals today broke cover amid the continuing fallout from an onslaught of damaging allegations from Harry and Meghan’s Oprah interview – as the the palace prepares for UK viewers to watch the bombshell footage when it airs on ITV tonight.
