During a virtual appearance at Travalyst’s annual convening in the South of France, Harry sat in front of a white bookshelf that displayed his family photo album. One framed photo showed his pregnancy announcement with Meghan Markle in 2021 when they were expecting Princess Lilibet.
At the time, the couple – who already shared Prince Archie – turned to Misan Harriman to virtually photograph them in the privacy of the garden of their Montecito home. Resting her head in Harry’s lap, pregnant Meghan looked radiant with her hand on her blossoming baby bump framed by a large Jacaranda tree. The edges of those branches were unmistakable in Harry’s latest video appearance.
However, the snap was recently at the centre of debate, after some claimed that Harry and Meghan’s photographer had admitted to changing the background from a meadow to a woodland.
It stemmed from an interview Missan did with Michael Berkeley on the Private Passions podcast in 2022. Michael asked Misan: “They weren’t actually under a willow tree, they were lying outside in a meadow, Harry and Meghan, when you took a photo of them?”
