Meghan, pregnant and with Archie in her arms: this is the viral photo after the interview with Oprah
Prince Harry, his wife, Meghan Markle, and his son Archie are beaming at the arrival of a new member of their family: a girl. As the couple revealed in an interview with Oprah Winfrey seen by nearly 17 million people on CBS, the little girl will be born this coming summer. By then, her older brother, Archie, will already be two years old, which will be May 6.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are becoming a headline powerhouse. The interview with Winfrey did not disappoint and left a good string of statements that, without any doubt, will not have gone down well with the British royal family. Oblivious to the noise, Harry and Meghan live in their bubble of happiness. And that is what the photographer Misan Harriman, a friend of the couple, has portrayed, who has shared a new black and white snapshot where marriage radiates happiness. Although his face is not seen, little Archie appears, hugging his mother, one of the great protagonists of the controversial interview.
The photo, which has quickly gone viral on Instagram, belongs to the session with which the couple announced their pregnancy on February 14. The author, Misan Harriman, wanted to congratulate his friends on the arrival of his new daughter. "What wonderful news to celebrate International Women's Day!", He has written next to the image. In the scene, the three appear in the purest style of Meghan: with an image taken care of in detail, she with a great dress and in an environment in which everything seems relaxed and natural. As Harry hugs her waist from behind her, the Duchess of Sussex holds little Archie in her arms over her pregnant belly.

Misan Harriman was the architect of the love of the couple as he introduced Meghan years ago to a friend who also knew Harry. Without him it is possible that the actress and the prince would not have met. The artist, a regular contributor to Condé Nast in the three years he has been a photographer, told the British edition of Vogue the symbolism of these photos: "Having behind them the tree of life and the garden that represents fertility, not They needed no indication, because they go, as they always have, dancing together through life as absolute soul mates. "
Harriman recognized both in Vogue UK and on his Instagram that the photo had been taken remotely, telematically, and with the camera of an iPad activated remotely like all professional equipment. Thus, the two snapshots were taken from London, 8,750 kilometers from Santa Barbara, California, where the Sussexes live.
Harriman has known Markle for years, with whom he maintains a great friendship. He was one of the photographers invited to cover the couple's wedding. Later he had another royal commission: Princess Beatrice of York chose him to take her photo in which she announced her engagement with her now husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.
As a photographer, his most recognized work has been the cover of Vogue UK's activism and diversity issue of September 2020, traditionally the biggest issue of the year. Harriman thanked Edward Enninful, the magazine's editor, for making him the first black person in 104 years to photograph the cover of the September issue.
