A previously unseen portrait of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex has been removed from one of the rooms at Buckingham Palace. Last week, HELLO! uncovered the beautiful picture of the newlyweds when the Queen welcomed the Honorable George Brandis, the Australian High Commissioner to the United Kingdon. Instead the portrait has been replaced with a photograph of Prince Harry and Prince William in military uniform - which was noticed during an audience with celebrated composer Thea Musgrave, who was presented with the Queen's Medal for Music.

The removal doesn't seem unusual as the Queen reportedly moves photographs around the reception room frequently. Last week it was a pleasant surprise to see the framed image of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle take pride of place at the front of one of the side tables. The picture showed Harry dressed in a smart blue suit, while his wife wore a pale fitted dress, rumoured to be by designer Roland Mouret. Although it is not clear when the image was taken, but it is likely to have been an official portrait taken by royal photographer Alexi Lubomirski as part of their engagement photoshoot in early December.

Royal fans will soon get to see the newlyweds at the Queen's official birthday celebrations, Trooping the Colour, at Buckingham Palace on Saturday.
