The picture appears to be one taken at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding

While one image is slightly obscured, the other is visible – and appears to be a picture taken at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding.

The sweet family shot features King Charles and Queen Consort  Camilla alongside Charles’ mother the Queen and Prince Philip and the Prince and Princess of Wales.

Beaming Harry and Meghan take centre stage, surrounded by their bridesmaids and page boys.

The sweet nod to his son and daughter-in-law – who live in a £11 million 16-bed, nine-bath mansion in Montecito, California – comes amid a transatlantic family rift.

The Royals are bracing for Harry’s explosive memoir in which he is set to “go after” Charles and Camilla.

Ex-Vanity Fair editor Tina Brown, 68, said Harry “can’t stand” Camilla and does not want her to be Queen.

She said: “Harry’s not going to go after The Queen, she’s sacrosanct. And he probably won’t go after Kate, who he’s very fond of.

“But he will go after Charles and Camilla and maybe William.”

In the couple’s bombshell Oprah Winfrey interview, they complained about an unnamed “royal racist” while Meghan said The Duchess of Cambridge made her cry.

Meanwhile Harry told Oprah that his dad stopped taking his calls after Megxit – and claimed he was financially cut off.

And the Duke of Sussex said his family showed “total neglect” for his mental health woes and claimed dad Charles made him “suffer” in a documentary.

The rift came to a head following the death of the Queen last month.

Harry had insisted Meghan join the family on the day the Queen died, but Charles phoned to say it was “not appropriate”.

It saw Harry miss an RAF flight to Scotland with brother William and uncles Andrew and Edward.

He was told to make his own travel arrangements and eventually landed at Aberdeen without Meghan at 6.35pm — minutes after the Queen’s death was announced to the world.

When he was driven into Balmoral 90 minutes later he declined dinner at Birkhall, Charles’s home on the estate, with the new king, Queen Consort Camilla and William.

Insiders say the sulking prince instead mourned with Edward and Sophie Wessex and Andrew, seven miles away at Balmoral Castle.

Two days after the Queen’s death, Prince William and Kate Middleton came together with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to greet well-wishers on a walkabout.

But a palace insider says it may have been tougher than it looked to the hundreds of people who caught a glimpse of the royal couples.

A source told said the Fab Four’s reunion to lay flowers at Windsor was “awkward” and both couples “found it hard”.

They added: “They were in a stoic spirit of just getting through it for the Queen.”

It was earlier revealed that Charles has a framed photo of him walking Meghan down the aisle on display at Clarence House.

The King has the black and white photo from the Royal Wedding in the Morning Room, it has been revealed.
