And with over 79,000 likes, the photograph certainly seemed to go down well with royal fans.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle kept a low profile over the Queen's Jubilee weekend. The Palace was reportedly worried that the pair might drop a "Sussex bomb" over the weakened, but the couple were not seen at many Royal engagements. 

The couple attended The Queen's Jubilee ceremony at St. Pauls Cathedral on Friday, but were not seen at any Royal engagements for the rest of the weekend, and are said to have flown back to LA before the celebrations came to a close. 

A spokesperson for the Sussex's has reportedly said that more than £79,800 worth of donations have been made in their daughter's honour, by people across the world, to the World Central Kitchen. The organisation provides meals for those affected by humanitarian, climate and community crises.
