Royal fans notice sweet tribute to Meghan Markle in Prince Harry’s office as he addresses NATO Military Committee from home
Royal fans have spotted a sweet detail in Prince Harry’s office as he addressed the NATO military committee via videolink on the role of his charity Invictus in supporting wounded, injured and sick service members and veterans.
The Duke of Sussex, 40, spoke to the committee ‘on the breadth and development of the Invictus programme and the progress it is making to expand the scope of its mission’.
He was believed to be speaking from his home in Montecito, which he shares with Meghan Markle and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
The background of his office featured shelves filled with items – and royal enthusiasts were quick to share their delight after noticing a wedding photo of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex proudly on display.
Fans speculated that the image showed a beaming Prince Harry and Meghan, dressed in their finery, during their celebratory carriage ride through the streets of Windsor in May 2018.

One person wrote on X: ‘I can see a wedding photo there’, while another added: ‘Is that Prince Harry and Meghan’s wedding photo displayed behind Prince Harry?’
The framed photograph was spotted above the Duke’s left shoulder – with other items on display thought to include a basketball and several other photos.
Although Harry himself did not attend the NATO meeting in New York, a delegation from the Invictus Games group was sent.
The meeting comes a year after the Duke’s 2023 Invictus Games documentary ‘Heart of Invictus’ aired on Netflix, bringing fresh attention to the plight of wounded soldiers.
Harry and his wife Meghan Markle signed a five-year, £80million deal with the streaming giant in 2020, shortly after they decided to step back from public life.
They have since aired a six-part autobiographical series ‘Harry & Meghan’.
Two more programmes are understood to be in the works, one focusing on Meghan, which Netflix says will ‘celebrate the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship’.
The other is a brainchild of Prince Harry, offering ‘unprecedented access to the world of professional polo, shot primarily at the US Open Polo Championship in Wellington, Florida’.

Netflix said: ‘The series will pull back the curtain on the sport, known primarily for its aesthetic and social scene, capturing the full story of what it takes to compete at its highest level.’
However, it was reported last month that this five-part documentary series ‘hardly features the Duke at all’, allegedly raising tensions among Netflix executives.
Instead, it is said to focus on his friend Nacho Figueras, a little-known Argentinian player.
A source claimed Netflix bosses have been disappointed with just how much the final edit focuses on the unknown, saying the streaming giant expected ‘more bang for its buck’.
Through their company Archewell, Harry and his wife Meghan are executive producers of the series, titled simply Polo and due out in December. But behind the scenes it has been nicknamed ‘the Nacho Show’.

Meanwhile, Prince William has taken a conciliatory step in his feud with Prince Harry by publicly naming him in his film for what is believed to be the first time in six years.
Speaking in his new ITV documentary, the Prince of Wales recounted how Princess Diana took the brothers to a homeless shelter in London as children to show the realities of life outside the palace.
The film, ‘Prince William: We Can End Homelessness’, included poignant unseen photos of William and Diana at the Passage in Westminster.
In one, taken when Princess Diana visited with William on 14 June 1993 just days before his eleventh birthday, the young Prince is seen studiously playing chess with a homeless man at the shelter.
Another, taken in December that year, shows a suited-and-booted young William standing alongside his mother at the shelter, his arms stuffed with presents to give.
Until this film, it is understood William has not uttered his brother’s name in a public speech or interview since 2018 when the two princes, alongside the Princess of Wales and Meghan Markle, were interviewed at the Royal Foundation Forum.
The documentary also reunites the brothers on screen, if only via an old photo of both boys visiting the shelter in 1993.
