After Prince Harry and Meghan moved to a new Insta account, the official Twitter handle of the Kensington Palace changed their photo with a family picture featuring Prince William, Kate William and with their children – Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

The family photograph has previously been seen in their official Christmas card last year. 

The Sussexes are expected to be moving into Frogmore Cottage on the estate of Windsor Estate in a few weeks. The first baby of the royal couple is due this Spring, which means that Meghan and Harry’s firstborn may arrive anytime now.
