Prince Harry secretly visits Meghan Markle's close friend in London

Prince Harry quietly slipped into London earlier this month for a secret outing and this time, it was to support one of Meghan Markle’s closest friends.

The Duke of Sussex, 41, paid a surprise visit to photographer Misan Harriman’s exhibition, Purpose of Light, at Hope 93 in Fitzrovia. 

Harriman, a Nigerian-born British photographer, is a longtime confidant of Meghan and the man behind some of the Sussexes’ most iconic family moments, from Meghan’s pregnancy announcement in 2021 to Princess Lilibet’s first birthday portrait.

Harry was photographed touring the exhibition with Harriman and gallery founder Aki Abiola, looking relaxed as he admired the striking black-and-white pieces on display. 

His outfit even appeared to match the one he wore during a visit to Nottingham earlier that same day.

Sharing snaps of the duke’s visit, Harriman gushed: “Thank you for visiting my exhibition, Prince Harry. 

It was wonderful to show you my work and discuss the incredible space Aki has created. Art is important, especially now.”

The photographer, who also featured in the couple’s Netflix docuseries, praised Harry and Meghan as symbols of love and resilience: “My images of them do all the talking.”
