King Charles has a framed picture of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on his desk at Hillsborough Castle, the monarch's official Northern Ireland residence.

The images are understood to be prominently placed on Charles’s desk and throughout the State Drawing Room.
Among pictures of other family members, a small, framed portrait of Harry and Meghan can be found in the room.
