Misan Harriman, a friend of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, has come forward to address allegations that he manipulated the photo the couple shared to announce the arrival of their second child, Princess Lilibet. Harriman, a professional photographer, posted the original color picture he took of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex during a remote photo session in 2021 to refute claims made by the Daily Mail that he doctored the image.
The photograph, taken on an Apple iPad, shows Prince Harry and Meghan in an intimate moment as they announced their pregnancy news on Valentine's Day in 2021. Harriman clarified that the only alteration made to the image was a black-and-white color grade.
