Meghan Markle’s pal shares unseen photo from her time in royal family to mark special day

Meghan Markle's friend Misan Harriman, who has taken many photos of her in the past, shared another gorgeous image of the duchess from her time when she was still a working royal

A long-time photographer friend of Meghan Markle has shared a beautiful behind-the-scenes snap from her time as a working royal.

Misan Harriman, 43, is known for his powerful photography and has been chosen by both Meghan and Prince Harry to take pictures of them in the past.

And to mark Meghan's 41st birthday last week, he took to social media to post a candid image he took of her back in 2019.

It shows Meghan at the One Young World summit at the Royal Albert Hall in London as she was preparing to take the stage at its opening ceremony.

Alongside the picture, the celebrated photographer wrote the message: "Wishing you the happiest of birthdays Meghan" and followed it up with a heart emoji.

Misan previously shared a black and white version of the snap and explained he called the image "The Arrival".

It's unknown how Misan and Meghan struck up their friendship but they are thought to have been friendly from the start of her relationship with Harry.

In February last year, he was chosen to take a snap of Meghan, Harry and Archie, which announced the family were expecting Lilibet.

In the black-and-white photo, Meghan lies with her head on Harry's lap and her hand resting on her baby bump.

The photographer snapped the picture of the California couple from afar during the coronavirus pandemic, by taking it remotely from his iPad in London.

To share the news the Sussexes were having a girl, he then released a second black-and-white photo in March of the couple posing with Archie under a tree as they confirmed he was getting a baby sister.

Meanwhile earlier this year, Misan was also on hand to snap several pictures of Lilibet to mark her first birthday.

The sweet snap shows the little girl gazing at the camera during her first birthday party held at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor over the Queen's Platinum Jubilee weekend.

He wrote on his Twitter account: "It was such a privilege to celebrate the first birthday of Lilibet with my family and hers! Joy and face painting all around."

He also shared a sweet photo of Lilibet and Meghan, alongside his wife, Camilla Holmstroem, and their two daughters.

In it, Meghan and Camilla beam at the camera - with Meghan wearing a long-sleeved top tucked into a pair of wide-leg, pinstriped pants, while the younger children sport lion face paint.
