Kensington Palace has announced the official photographer for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s upcoming wedding.

In a follow-up tweet, the Palace wrote “Alexi is a well-known portrait photographer” who “photographed Prince Harry and Ms. Markle last year at Frogmore House, Windsor, to mark the news of their engagement”.

Lubomirski is revered name in modern portrait photography. Aside from his royal ties, he has worked with celebrities including Beyoncé, Natalie Portman, Nicole Kidman, and Scarlett Johanson.
