King Charles releases new family portrait but there's no Prince Harry and Meghan

The Royal Family has released a new portrait of King Charles III, the Queen Consort, and the Prince and Princess of Wales which experts think sends a strong message to Prince Harry and Meghan. The portrait of the four was taken on September 18, the day before the Queen's funeral.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are noticeably missing from the snap, which a royal expert says sends a "no way back" message to the pair who have decided to leave royal life. Despite primarily residing in the USA, Harry and Meghan were in the UK at the time the photograph was taken.

Royal expert Richard Kay has said the photograph sends a clear signal that the couple will "never again return to their central role in royal life." Speaking to the Daily Mail he said: "It surely can be no coincidence that the picture was taken when the couple were still in Britain and several days before they returned home to their children Archie and Lilibet.
