- A never-before-seen photo of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle is visible in a recent snapshot from Buckingham Palace.
- It could be an outtake from their engagement photo shoot.
- The queen has displayed photos of the couple in the palace before.
Queen Elizabeth welcomed Australian diplomat George Brandis to Buckingham Palace on Wednesday, and the photo of their meeting appears to reveal a never-before-seen photo of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
In the background of the photo of Brandis and the queen, there's a small table holding picture frames. Front and center sits a picture of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who wed on May 19.
It's clearly not a wedding photo, though — Prince Harry is wearing a blue suit and tie, not his military uniform, and Markle is wearing a light blue fitted dress, not the Givenchy gown seen around the world. And it's not a photo of the couple from their engagement announcement, which the queen had previously displayed during her annual Christmas broadcast.
So where's the photo from?
It could be an outtake from their engagement photo shoot with photographer Alexi Lubomirski.
Prince Harry's blue suit looks similar to the one he wore in the photos released by Kensington Palace, and it's possible that Markle changed out of the unforgettable $75,000 Ralph and Russo gown for more photos that haven't been publicly released. Or it could just be from another royal photo-op — there's certainly no shortage of those.
Lubomirski's representatives declined INSIDER's request for comment, saying that "M Lubomirski is not commenting on any matters related to the royal wedding or the engagement pictures at this time."
