Meghan Markle found herself back in the spotlight at the weekend following the publication of an article in The Telegraph – and her subsequent statement.
But she put any ongoing drama to one side on Sunday to focus instead on her close friend, Misan Harriman.

He’s been called on by the Duke and Duchess to document some of their most personal moments, from the announcement of Meghan's second pregnancy, to the first official solo portrait of their daughter Lilibet, captured during the late Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

Meghan, 41, appeared on screen showcasing a sleek new look with her long hair worn down in a poker-straight style.

She said: "Our next speaker has an unmatched eye for a good photograph. I've experienced his talent first hand as he has captured many meaningful milestones for me and my family. And I know there are many others who share this experience.

It comes after Meghan issued a statement denying claims made in the Daily Telegraph article at the weekend.

It was claimed that Meghan wrote to the then Prince of Wales following her and Prince Harry's interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021.

"Any suggestion otherwise is false and frankly ridiculous. We encourage tabloid media and various royal correspondents to stop the exhausting circus that they alone are creating."
