Meghan and Prince Harry 'took private photographer to Buckingham Palace without ... trends now
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been accused of taking a private photographer to Buckingham Palace for photographs without the permission of the late Queen.
It comes after a behind-the-scenes image was broadcast on Netflix in a trailer for the couple's new documentary, which shows a series of black and white photographs taken at their Frogmore Cottage home, during their 2018 wedding reception and on holidays.

It is believed the images were captured during the couple's 'farewell tour' of the UK in March 2020, which included a wealth of public engagements before they headed back to the US.
While in the UK, the couple were followed by photographer Chris Allerton. However, the never-before-seen image which appears on the Netflix trailer has not yet been credited to a named photographer.
