Meghan Markle found herself back in the spotlight at the weekend following the publication of an article in The Telegraph – and her subsequent statement.
But she put any ongoing drama to one side on Sunday to focus instead on her close friend, Misan Harriman.
Misan is a long-time friend of Meghan’s. He’s been called on by the Duke and Duchess to document some of their most personal moments, from the announcement of Meghan’s second pregnancy to the first official solo portrait of their daughter Lilibet, captured during the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
With that in mind, Meghan filmed a short introduction for Misan ahead of a recent Ted talk, in which she spoke about their special bond.
Meghan, 41, appeared on screen showcasing a sleek new look with her long hair worn down in a poker-straight style.
She said: “Our next speaker has an unmatched eye for a good photograph. I’ve experienced his talent firsthand as he has captured many meaningful milestones for me and my family. And I know there are many others who share this experience.
“His lens has photographed everything from events that have changed the world, invisible moments we all desperately needed to see along with some of the planet’s most recognizable faces.
“But this wasn’t always his path and you might be surprised to hear not who, but what he credits for his success. I am so thrilled to welcome to the TED stage, my dear friend Misan Harriman.”
It comes after Meghan issued a statement denying claims made in the Daily Telegraph article at the weekend.
The article stated that one of the reasons that Meghan wasn’t attending the royal coronation was that she was left “unsatisfied” by King Charles’ response when she raised issues of unconscious bias within the Royal Family.
It was claimed that Meghan wrote to the then Prince of Wales following her and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021.
