    New portraits of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been unveiled by one of the couple’s go-to photographers.
    The photographs, which were taken prior to the Queen’s death, were captured by Misan Harriman when the couple attended One Young World summit in Manchester in the UK.
    Two portraits were released by the photographer the first of which shows the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in powerful stances looking directly to the camera, also holding hands.
    The second photograph, which is in black and white, show the couple with more sombre expressions, still holding hands, as they presumably prepare to take to the stage where the duchess gave the keynote address.

    The former senior royals were set to undertake a number of engagements around the United Kingdom during their trip together, but due to Queen Elizabeth II’s passing the appearances were cancelled during the mourning period.
    Instead, the couple, alongside other members of the royal family including King Charles II and Queen Consort Camilla and the new Prince and Princess of Wales, were involved in many engagements during the official mourning period for the Queen.

    These engagements included a walkabout Windsor Castle with Prince William and Princess Kate, attending the vigil of the Queen’s grandchildren and the official state funeral.
    Harry and Meghan have now returned to the USA, where the now reside in Montecito, California, after they stepped down from official royal duties at the beginning of 2020.

    Prince Harry has made a heartfelt tribute to his beloved grandmother, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, following her death last week.
    The Duke of Sussex paid homage to the late monarch on behalf of himself and his wife, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex in a harrowing statement.
    Referring to her as “granny”, the 36-year-old paid tribute to the Queen, who died aged 96, sharing his admiration for her “unwavering grace and dignity remained true throughout her life and now her everlasting legacy”.
    Prince Harry went on to say that while his grandmother’s death brought on “great sadness”, he was grateful for the times they were able to cherish together when he was growing up, and as a married man and father-of-two.

    “Granny, while this final parting brings us great sadness, I am forever grateful for all of our first meetings—from my earliest childhood memories with you, to meeting you for the first time as my Commander-in-Chief, to the first moment you met my darling wife and hugged your beloved great-grandchildren,” he said. “I cherish these times shared with you, and the many other special moments in between.
    “You are already sorely missed, not just by us, but by the world over.”
    The Duke of Sussex also went on to affirm his support for his father as the new monarch, saying, “And as it comes to first meetings, we now honour my father in his new role as King Charles III.”
    “Thank you for your commitment to service,” he continued. “Thank you for your sound advice. Thank you for your infectious smile. We, too, smile knowing that you and grandpa are reunited now, and both together in peace.”
    Prince Harry’s statement came after he reunited with his brother, Prince William, publicly for the first time since 2021, appearing on the grounds of Windsor Castle with his wife, Meghan Markle and sister-in-law Kate Middleton, who is now the Princess of Wales.
