A black and white portrait of the couple embracing face to face has been published alongside a colour picture of them sitting together holding hands.

Prince Harry is dressed in a blue suit while Ms Markle is wearing a black and gold embroidered dress by British luxury fashion house Ralph and Russo. Prince Harry and American actress Ms Markle confirmed their engagement in November and last week announced the service would take place on 19 May. Ms Markle will be baptised into the Church of England and confirmed before the wedding.

He said: "It was an incredible honour to be asked to document this wonderful event, but also a great privilege to be invited to share and be a witness to this young couple's love for one another. "I cannot help but smile when I look at the photos that we took of them, such was their happiness together." Mr Lubomirski's pictures follow the official royal engagement photograph tradition of being made up of both a formal and casual image.
