Back in July, eagle-eyed fans noticed that a never-before-seen photograph of the newlyweds took pride of place in the iconic room at Buckingham Palace. 

The framed image depicted Harry and Meghan beaming at the camera and is widely believed to have been an outtake from the couple’s engagement shoot with photographer Alexi Lubomirski – which the royal duo likely saved as a personal keepsake.

“I don’t know where we could live in Africa at the moment,” Prince Harry told anchor Tom Bradby. “We’ve just come from Cape Town, that would be an amazing place for us to be able to base ourselves, of course it would.”
