Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s recent pub photos were reportedly not accidental but carefully planned. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were spotted together at a pub in Oxfordshire, marking the first time the couple had been seen out together since returning to the UK. While the photos initially appeared to be paparazzi shots, new reports suggest the appearance may have been a deliberate move.

The new pub photos of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were reportedly a planned move by the Duchess of Sussex. Harry and Meghan recently returned to the UK after six years of living in California. The photos show the couple heading to The Falkland Arms pub in the Cotswolds while holding hands.

The two appeared cheerful as they made their way inside to enjoy lunch. Meghan wore a black sweater, dark pants, sunglasses, and white sneakers. Meanwhile, Harry looked equally dapper in blue jeans, a black jacket, a baseball cap, shoes, and sunglasses.

While the photos initially appeared spontaneous, a recent report by Rob Shuter suggested that they were actually a planned move by Meghan. A source said, “This has Meghan’s fingerprints all over it.” According to the source, Meghan understands publicity and knows how a photograph can generate headlines and hence wanted the couple to be seen together.

Meanwhile, another media insider claimed that it was not simply a case of a paparazzo getting lucky. According to the insider, the way they positioned themselves, held hands, and appeared camera-ready made it clear that they had planned the outing as a perfect photo opportunity.

Since their return to the UK, this was the first time they were spotted together in public. Hence, being photographed was not “random,” according to the source. They continued, “Meghan knows how the press works. The hand-holding was the picture, and the picture was the message.”
