Misan Harriman is one of the few industry friends that Meghan Markle holds dear. A renowned photographer who has recently delved into filmmaking, Harriman has been the man behind documenting some of the key moments for the Sussexes. From photographing the first public portrait of Princess Lilibet to consistently advocating for the Sussexes, the 46-year-old has solidified his role as their reliable ally. And now, he has taken on the responsibility of passing his genius to the Sussexes’ eldest son, Prince Archie, as well.

Recently, Meghan Markle shared how Prince Archie is trying to follow in the footsteps of Harriman and also requested the same camera as the photographer.
