The ‘exquisite’ photo of Harry and Meghan that has everyone talking

THERE were millions of photos taken of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle during their royal wedding, but this one’s being called the best.

ON WHAT was arguably the most photographed wedding day in history, one photographer managed to snap a picture that is being hailed as the perfect summation of the event.

Yui Mok, a photographer for Press Association in the UK, quite literally went above and beyond to capture a stunning pic of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as they entered Windsor Castle in their carriage.

After his picture went viral, Mok explained on Twitter that he took the photo as he was “positioned on the roof of George IV Gateway of Windsor Castle” and the carriage procession passed directly beneath him.

“I had less than a one-second window to take that particular shot — whilst having to focus through a metal grill I was standing over — so was happy to get anything really!” Mok wrote.

The photo was described as “exquisite” by some Twitter users and some couldn’t help but notice that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle appeared to form a heart shape with their two bodies. But Mok said it was “purely coincidental”.

Purely coincidental. I had less than a one-second window to take that particular shot - whilst having to focus through a metal grill I was standing over - so was happy to get anything really!

Mok really did have the best vantage point. Not only did he capture the amazing aerial shot, he also caught the moment Harry and Meghan stole a second kiss in front of the crowds.

In case you’re a photography nerd, Mok used a Canon 1Dx Mk2 camera and a 70-200mm lens to capture the image. He said “drones would never have been allowed anywhere near” the event.

And he was thankful not to break into a sweat.

Difference was I managed to not spill a drop of sweat...which wouldn't have been very nice for them being directly beneath me!
