Royal photographer reveals how Prince Harry has changed since meeting Meghan

Arthur Edwards has been a photographer for the royal family for over 40 years and has been documenting the lives of the royal family the whole time.

He first photographed Charles and Diana back in 1977, and is now in charge of documenting the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's life. 

Talking to Yahoo, Edwards has explained how Prince Harry has changed since meeting Meghan.

Harry has become 'aloof'

"I can see a massive change. He's become more aloof. He always had a great relationship with the media. He would always engage in some way... [but] that's all completely stopped now.

"He's matured into a senior statesman of the royal family now. Maybe he's the time for jostling with Ussain Bolt, or hugging the Jamaican Prime Minister... That's maybe it's time to stop that now."

Edwards went into detail about a recent tour to Ireland where the couple visited Croke Park, the home of hurling.

"[Harry] was given the hurley to hit the ball and he declined... There would have been a time when he would have hit that ball out of the park, Harry.

"Now he's married he's very very protective of Meghan. I think he's changed a bit. But he's still Harry and he's still lovely."

The couple's "tactile" relationship

"I've covered a few romances in the royal family and I've never seen a couple more tactile than them," Edwards said. "They never stop holding hands."

"Even when she was walking to church on Christmas day, she [Meghan] was arm in arm with him, she wouldn't let him go,"

"He's [Harry's] always aware where she is, that she's always kept informed... whispering in her ear if she's a bit hesitant about what to do next."

"He is very loved-up and he's very much prepared to show it to everybody: this is the woman I love and this is the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with."
