In May, HELLO! first spotted the picture of the newlyweds; the portrait was placed on a table in the palace as the Queen welcomed the Honorable George Brandis, the Australian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, for a private audience. The framed image shows Prince Harry and Meghan standing posing together. While Harry is dressed in a smart blue suit, his wife was wearing a pale blue fitted number - believed to be by designer Roland Mouret. It is not clear when the image was taken, but it is likely to have been an official portrait taken by photographer Alexi Lubomirski as part of their engagement photoshoot in early December.
