A royal photographer has been met with heaps of praise once again for catching a “one in a million” shot of the Duchess of Cambridge.

And eagle-eyed royal fans were left delighted with the new picture, as it bears a striking resemblance to that iconic shot of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry in the rain during their farewell tour in 2020.

In true British fashion, the Duchess apologized for “bringing England’s rain with us,” as she addressed the school’s pupils in an assembly.
She said, “I hope you didn't get too wet coming here and apologies for bringing this British weather with us.”
Before adding, “Thank you so much for such a warm welcome.”
