The Queen removes photo of Harry and Meghan from her Audience Room after just ONE week
A snap of Prince Harry and his brother Prince William now takes centre stage
THE QUEEN appears to have removed a photograph of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from pride of place in her Audience Room.
Eagle-eyed fans spotted the previously unseen snap of the newlyweds on a table at Buckingham Palace when Her Majesty met George Brandis, Australian High Commissioner to the UK, on May 30.
But today, as composer Thea Musgrave was presented the Queen’s Medal for Music, royal fans noticed that the frame had been removed - leaving a snap of Harry and brother Prince William to take centre stage.
It’s not known why the image was removed, but it’s likely royal aides move treasured family portraits around the grand home.
The photo shows the smartly-dressed pair posing for the camera as the new Duchess of Sussex, 36, affectionately rests her hand on her 33-year-old husband’s chest.
It is believed to have been taken during their engagement shoot.

Other portraits to feature in the room are ones of Zara and Mike Tindall on their wedding day, a picture of William and Harry in Military uniform and a portrait of Princess Anne and her husband Timothy Laurence.
The Audience Room is where the Her Majesty keeps some of her most prized possessions and is situated on the palace's first floor.
On the mantelpiece stands two 18th Century English porcelain pheasants valued at £20,000; as well as a white marble and gilt bronze clock, valued at £4,000; an English gilt mirror, valued at £30,000.
