Meghan's cheeky photo booth moment mysteriously removed

Meghan Markle’s cheeky photo booth moment at the British Fashion Awards after-party has been deleted from Instagram.

The glamorous black and white snap – which showed the mum-to-be posing for a boomerang alongside Givenchy designer Clare Waight-Keller and actress Rosamund Pike – was initially posted on the British Fashion Council’s Instagram page, along with a bunch of other celeb boomerangs from the night.

It’s since been deleted however, and it appears the post featuring the Duchess of Sussex was the only one that was taken down from that account.

While the reason for this decision remains unknown, the photo certainly isn’t something which would typically meet royal protocol – although Meghan has been carving out of bit of a reputation for doing her own thing.

But fear not, the stunning photo still exits on the Instagram account of photographer Yvan Fabing.

The 37-year-old – who is expecting her first child with Prince Harry in 2019 – looked stunning under the moving lights, as she clutched her baby bump and showed off a smile, while the camera shifted from side-to-side.

During the awards ceremony earlier that night, the former Suits star took to the stage to present her wedding dress designer Clare Waight-Keller of Givenchy with the British Womenswear Designer of the Year award.

Meghan wowed in a black, velvet one-shoulder gown, which is also believed to be by Givenchy.

And in her acceptance speech, Clare had nothing but praise for Meghan and the time they spent together while designing her wedding dress.

“This woman is so amazing. I got to know Meghan on such a personal level,” Clare said in her acceptance speech.

“To have someone like that on such a personal moment in their life… I can’t thank you enough because it was the most beautiful moment.”

However, royal fans couldn’t help but comment on how much Meghan’s bump has popped out in recent weeks – or more specifically how she was cradling her baby.

Throughout the presentation, Meghan (gasp!) lovingly placed her two hands on her bump, swathed in a slinky, one-shoulder black velvet Givenchy gown.

Meghan’s cradling move has irked some trolls, who call it overly posed and smug.

Among the negative reactions was a tweet comparing her to actress Demi Moore, who famously cradled her baby bump in the nude.

The constant cradling also gave critics the chance to pick at another supposed transgression of Meghan’s, as it showed off her fashion-forward — and reportedly protocol-breaking — black nail polish.
