Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s photographer originally believed call from palace was a prank

foxnews.com:

Reflecting on the assignment he initially thought was a prank, professional photographer Alexi Lubomirski, is revealing his inspiration behind shooting Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. "When I got off the phone, I said, 'I think Kensington Palace just called me.' Two days later I was sitting in front of [Harry and Meghan] talking concepts," Lubomirski told People magazine of being hired to take the couples' engagement photos in 2017.

When searching for inspiration for the couples' upcoming photo shoot, Lubomirski reveals he was inspired by another iconic couple: Audrey Hepburn and her husband Mel Ferrer.

In the famous photo, Ferrer envelopes Hepburn in his jacket, a concept Lubomirski thought Prince Harry could replicate with Markle. "It just popped in my head because I saw his overcoat and I said, 'Can you put that on?' And then everything just starts folding together," he explained.

In the past, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had a joint Instagram account with Prince William and Kate Middleton, which is where the photos were originally posted.
