For two years, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been one of the world’s favorite power couples. From Harry’s commitment to raising awareness about mental health, to Meghan’s advocacy for women’s rights, this royal pair has educated the public about the issues closest to their hearts, all while building their own unique love story across the Atlantic.
“They’re very touchy feely, they hold hands all the time, so they’re very affectionate. They’re very relaxed with each other,” said Shutterstock Staff Photographer, Tim Rooke, who photographed the couple during the year.
In May, 29 million people watched on television as the Prince of Wales and the American actress married, stepping into the roles of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. They’ve just recently returned home from their first major royal tour, and they are expecting their first child in the Spring of 2019. Let’s take a look back at the public events they’ve attended so far this year. For even more of the Royal Family, take a look at our best photos from 2018.
