Royal royal portraits of Prince Harry and Megan Markl in honor of the engagement are published.

Yesterday gave the fans of the British royal family a landmark event - on the official page of the Kensington Palace in Instagram appeared several photos of Prince Harry and Megan Markle timed for the upcoming engagement.

Prince Harry and Megan Markle have long been among the major newsmakers of British and world tabloids, but the last months have become the hottest events. In September, rumors of a romance between the prince and the actress finally officially confirmed, they appeared together at one of the public events, then all languished from waiting for the announcement of the engagement. And only after the final completion of the contract Megan Markle with the studio, the royal court officially published the information on the engagement.

If before that the paparazzi and journalists had several joint photos, then thanks to an interview with the BBC and an open press conference, the fans were able to appreciate how beautiful and harmonious the pair were. A few days later, everyone knew the exact date of the wedding ceremony - May 19, 2018.

Kensington Palace first published two portrait photos of Prince Harry and Megan Markle, but after seeing an unprecedented stir and enthusiastic comments around the photo session, a few hours later, published another photo. The press service of the British family on behalf of future spouses officially thanked the fans for their support and placed a new black and white photo with the words:

"We thank everyone for their support, warm wishes and wonderful comments on the photos of Prince Harry and Miss Megan Markle. As a sign of respect, we decided to publish one more photo. "

Note that the portraits are made by the famous photographer Alexis Lubomirsky in Frogmore House (one of the country residences of the British royal family). He has extensive experience working with the stars of the first magnitude and is listed in the rank of the most famous British fashion photographers. Alexy Lubomirsky shared his experiences with journalists about the past photo shoot:

"I want to express my deep gratitude to His Royal Highness Prince Harry and Miss Megan Markle for the privilege of making them official portraits on the day of the engagement. To be a witness of the love of a young couple is an honor for me. When I look at the result of work, I can not help but smile. "

For portrait photography, Megan Markle herself picked up a dress from the collection of Ralph & Russo. Discarding the value of the brand model from haute couture, let us say that the black dress was framed by hand applique, silk frills, sewn with feathers of golden threads along the entire surface of the bodice and organza skirts.

Photos of Prince Harry and Megan Markle compared with the pictures of Prince William and Kate Middleton

Despite the incredible response from the fans of the new royal couple of Britain, there were those who found portraits too frank. Naturally, his point of view "dissatisfied" was supported by a comparison with photos of Prince William and Kate Middleton.

Kensington Palace for all the allegations of excessive frankness of the brand dress and its cost laconically replied that Megan Markle decided that she would wear the official photo shoot. Note that in 2010, Catherine Middleton chose a more modest cream-colored dress, focusing on restraint. Against the backdrop of the dress of the Duchess Catherine, Megan's dress is clearly distinguished by courage and sexuality.

In addition to comparing dresses, experts analyzed the psychological component of portraits. Despite the "frankness" of the outfit of the future bride, the pictures of Harry and Megan seemed more intimate than the official photos of Kate and William. Particularly touched by the fans pose in the photo, in one case, Harry tries to slightly wrap Megan with his coat, and in the other she sits at his feet.
