The Queen has an unseen photo of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in her living room
Queen Elizabeth may not have said anything with regard to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's wedding but a small gesture of hers has said a lot. Recently, the Queen welcomed George Brandis, the Australian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom and the two were spotted having a conversation in her sitting room.
But what caught our attention was the picture in the background. On the left-hand side of the photo, there are a couple of pictures that are placed on a table next to the sofa and one of them happens to be a picture of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Earlier photographs also show more royal family photos adorning various tables and corners of the room.
The photograph shows the newlyweds holding onto each other and smiling at the camera. Meghan's hands are lovingly resti against Harry's chest. While the location of the picture is not known, it could in all probability be the handiwork of wedding photographer Alexi Lubomirski who was called to the Frogmore House last December for shooting the engagement photographs of the royal couple. While Harry is seen wearing a blue suit, Meghan is wearing a pale well-fitted dress. Seems like the newlyweds have already made into the Queen's good books and heart.
It’s not known where the picture was taken, but could possibly be from the pair’s engagement shoot with their wedding photographer Alexi Lubomirski at Frogmore House in December.
At the same time, the queen showered the newlyweds with love by throwing them a lunchtime reception at St. George’s Hall at Windsor Castle. The reception was held following their wedding which took place at St. George’s Chapel on May 19. Nearly 600 guests were invited to the reception.
Queen Elizabeth had offered her official approval days ahead of Harry and Meghan's wedding. “My Lords, I declare My Consent to a Contract of Matrimony between My Most Dearly Beloved Grandson Prince Henry Charles Albert David of Wales and Rachel Meghan Markle, which Consent I am causing to be signified under the Great Seal and to be entered in the Books of the Privy Council,” the statement read.
At the same time, Meghan's wedding ring is a small gift from the Queen. The palace confirmed that Meghan's ring has been fashioned from a piece of Welsh Gold, gifted by Her Majesty The Queen. One could say it is the perfect fit for Meghan's "something old" for the wedding and coming from the Queen herself made it extra special.
