It’s “Meghan and Harry in their natural element, sharing a beautiful moment together,” photographer Jake Rosenberg tells PEOPLE
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are all smiles in a romantic new photo released in celebration of their seventh wedding anniversary.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex marked the milestone on May 19, with Meghan’s lifestyle brand, As ever, sharing a never-before-seen image of the couple taken by photographer Jake Rosenberg.
The black-and-white photo, captured in March 2024, shows Meghan, 43, and Harry, 40, walking hand-in-hand outside their Montecito, California home, where they live with their two children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 3. Meghan rests a hand on Harry’s shoulder as they exchange a loving look.
“It was a beautiful mid-March evening in Montecito,” Rosenberg tells PEOPLE. “Anticipating the shoot day ahead, we took a quiet walk through the residence just after sunset where I captured this moment of Meghan and Harry in their natural element, sharing a beautiful moment together.”
A longtime friend of Meghan’s, Rosenberg photographed her for her brand and Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, as well as the images featured in her March 2025 PEOPLE exclusive interview.
Reflecting on more than a decade of friendship, Rosenberg previously told PEOPLE that it’s been a “wild journey” watching Meghan evolve both personally and professionally.
This spring has been especially busy for the Duchess of Sussex, who debuted three major projects: her Netflix series With Love, Meghan, the launch of her As ever brand, and her Confessions of a Female Founder podcast with Lemonada Media.
Rosenberg said Meghan’s latest chapter — “getting back to her roots” — “feels like the good old days.”
“Shooting with Meghan, it just feels like we’re two friends hanging out, you know?” he told PEOPLE. “It doesn’t feel like this giant production, and there are all these different people weighing in. It’s just a really nice moment for us to have together to capture authentic, genuine moments.”
