Prince Harry used to be “so much fun” before he met Meghan Markle, says a leading royal photographer.

Prince Harry “changed” dramatically after he started dating Meghan Markle and “cut everyone dead”, a royal photographer has claimed.

The Duke of Sussex has been married to the Duchess since 2018 but their love story began sometime in 2016, when they began dating and he fell head over heels with her.

Harry and Meghan now live in Montecito, California, after they quit their royal duties and moved across the pond in 2020, just two years after their wedding.

And now the Sun’s royal photographer Arthur Edwards – who has been a royal snapper for 45 years – spoke about his own experience with the prince and how he allegedly changed after meeting Meghan.

He told the outlet’s live show: “He used to say ‘I’ll do everything I can to make it good for you, and that’s what shocked me when he just cut us all dead, that one time up in Manchester.

“I’ll never forget and I was shocked and it was just the day he met Meghan or the day he fell in love with Meghan, and it’s all changed since then.

“I feel sad about that because he was a fabulous person to work with.”

Mr Edwards added that Harry “used to be so much fun” during royal engagements before the change.

He said: “I remember when he met the Jamaican Prime Minister, instead of saying ‘hello ma’am, ‘pleased to meet you’ he just hugged her.

“And I said ‘what did you do that for’ and he said ‘because my father said she likes a hug so I thought I’d get in first’ and that’s what he was like, it was so much fun.”

He added: “And then we went to Brazil and he playing football with the kids on the beach and he’s running a road race and as he finished the race he had a picture of William on his face.

“He was fun and he was surprising.”
