The Duke and Duchess of Sussex recently celebrated their seventh wedding anniversary, and Meghan marked the occasion by posting a “Love Story” collage on her page — a collection of personal photos that had never been shared publicly before.
Many families have a big frame or wall for their favorite memories. I, for example, have one in my kitchen filled with pictures of my kids, our cats, and my husband — changing it from time to time. Such collages are fascinating to look at, because they capture the history of a family — of love, of life itself.
Let’s take a closer look at the photos on Harry and Meghan’s wall. I tried to find the highest resolution available, though, since we’re talking about screenshots from social media, we have to make do with what we have.
The images are grouped by theme and arranged to create a balance of colors — not surprising, as Meghan has always presented herself as someone who pays attention to every detail and strives for perfection.
On the small notes beneath the photos are handwritten captions: the year, the location, or a memory of where they were happiest. There’s also a printed page with the lyrics of Ben E. King’s song *“Stand by Me”* and a drawing of Meghan’s personal coat of arms.
Some of the photos are familiar — romantic engagement portraits, wedding images, and pictures from public events where both look elegant and joyful.
One group of photos is from Botswana — a place Harry has often described as his “happy place.” It’s where he took Meghan on their first trip together and told her he loved her. The same section includes photos from Norway and other destinations that are harder to identify.
Another touching part of the collage features Archie’s ultrasound image and a heartwarming photo of Harry cradling his newborn son. There’s also Meghan, heavily pregnant, smiling tenderly before Archie’s birth.
A new photo of Archie shows his bright, open smile, while another captures him hugging his little sister in front of a Christmas tree — a moment full of warmth and love.
As usual, many photos are taken from behind or in profile, often in black and white — the signature style the Sussexes prefer to share both publicly and privately. Personally, I’d love to see Lilibet’s face again — the last time such a picture was released was on her first birthday. But even in this “Love Story” collage, though small and low-resolution, her face remains hidden.
The Duchess captioned the post:
“Seven years of marriage. A life full of stories.
Thank you to everyone — near or far — who has loved and supported us throughout our love story. We appreciate you.
Happy anniversary!”
Honestly, if Harry and Meghan shared photos of their children more often — not just those showing their backs or silhouettes — their popularity would likely grow even more. But they clearly have their own reasons for keeping those moments private. So for now, all we can do is zoom in and study the glimpses they choose to share.
