MEGHAN’S MISSING!

Engagement photo ousted from its spot in Buckingham Palace by princes in uniform

- By Rebecca English Royal Correspond­ent

ONE week it was there, the next it was gone. A previously unseen photograph of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex appears to have lost its prominent spot in Buckingham Palace.

The touching portrait of Harry and Meghan – taken by celebrity photograph­er Alexi Lubomirski on their engagement last year – was seen on display in the Audience Room for the first time last week when the Queen met Australia’s high commission­er George Brandis.

But pictures taken inside the room yesterday showed it has been moved from the side table by the fireplace and replaced by a photo of Princes William and Harry in uniform.

The Queen regularly moves pictures around in the ornate room, although certain favourites – such as a wedding photograph of the Earl and Countess of Wessex – are often in view. The switch was spotted when composer Thea Musgrave was at the Palace to be presented with the Queen’s Medal for Music.
