Harriman gave an interview in 2022 to BBC Radio 3 podcast Private Passions, where he was asked about the pregnancy announcement photo.
In a video posted to X today, Harriman said: "How that exchange could amount to me admitting to doctoring an image is insidious and really dangerous journalism."
The photographer added: "Any mention of meadows and willow trees came out of the person doing the interview, not my mouth."
He later branded the claims as "tragic to see" in the video.

Several important photographs of Meghan and Harry have been taken by Harriman.
These include when the duke and duchess returned to the UK for Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee, Harriman took official photographs of Princess Lilibet at Frogmore Cottage.
The photographer occasionally takes to social media to share previously unseen snapshots of the duke and duchess from when they were working royals.

Harriman captioned the post: "I call this image THE ARRIVAL.
"The Duchess Of Sussex about to take the stage at the opening ceremony of @oneyoungworld #lightandshadows @royalalberthall. From my archive."
