Harriman said that due to the ongoing pandemic, he couldn't be physically present to shoot the couple, so he remotely conducted it with the help of an iPad while speaking with them. Speaking about the powerful meaning of the image, he said:

"You don't even see the image, you feel it. They are lost in each other. And the tree in the background and just life growing around them is incredibly powerful."

Per reports, Harriman, a close friend of the royal couple, explained that he hopes the groundbreaking image symbolizes hope, love, and fortitude, especially for women who have gone through a dark time regarding a miscarriage.

For the maternity photoshoot, Harry and Meghan struck an informal, yet intimate theme with the Duke of Sussex wearing a casual button-down shirt rolled to the elbows while he posed barefoot.

The soon-to-be mother looked radiant as she rested on her husband's thighs, cradling her burgeoning bump as the couple stared affectionately into each other's eyes. She wore a maxi Carolina Herrera dress by Wes Gordon.

The outfit was a special nod to her son, Archie Harrison. It was specially made for the duchess when she was pregnant with him back in 2018. She reportedly has a close bond with the creative director of the brand.

Meghan and Harry's pregnancy announcement came months after the Duchess of Sussex revealed that she suffered a heartbreaking miscarriage last July in an open essay for the New York Times.

The pregnancy reveal, which was shared on Valentine's Day, had
