Fans of the classic rom-com couldn’t help but see the similarities between the couple’s pregnancy announcement photo and an iconic scene from the film.

Prince Harry and the former Meghan Markle’s pregnancy pic reminded royal watchers and rom-com fans of an iconic scene from 1999’s “Notting Hill.”

When the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced that they’re expecting their second child, they gave royal watchers something to celebrate — and rom-com lovers something to swoon about.

Prince Harry and the former Meghan Markle released their happy news alongside a beautiful black-and-white photo of themselves on Valentine’s Day. The pic shows the duchess reclining in the grass, with her knees bent, her head on Harry’s lap and one hand resting on her baby bump.

When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced their second pregnancy on February 14, 2021, the black-and-white photo they shared struck a chord with fans of the classic rom-com Notting Hill. Taken by their friend Misan Harriman remotely via iPad, the image shows Meghan lying on the grass with her head in Harry’s lap, her hand resting on her baby bump, while a barefoot Harry cradles her head. The couple gazes at each other tenderly, framed by a tree in their Montecito, California garden. This serene, intimate pose instantly reminded people of the film’s closing scene, where Julia Roberts’ character, Anna Scott, a pregnant American actress, rests her head on Hugh Grant’s character, William Thacker’s, lap on a park bench, symbolizing their happily-ever-after.

Picture Descriptions:

Harry and Meghan’s Pregnancy Photo (2021)
A black-and-white shot of Meghan reclining on the grass, head in Harry’s lap, hand on her bump, with Harry looking down at her affectionately. The background features a Jacaranda tree, adding a natural, symbolic “tree of life” element.

The photo’s soft lighting and casual vibe (Harry’s bare feet, Meghan’s flowing Carolina Herrera dress) enhance its romantic, laid-back feel—mirroring Notting Hill’s dreamy conclusion.

Notting Hill Final Scene (1999)
In the movie, Julia Roberts lies across a park bench, head in Hugh Grant’s lap, her hand on her pregnant belly. Hugh gazes at her lovingly as they relax in a private London garden. The scene’s warm, golden tones and the couple’s contented expressions seal their love story, much like Harry and Meghan’s photo captures a moment of personal triumph after challenges.

Why the Comparison Resonates:

The visual parallel isn’t just coincidence—it’s thematic. Notting Hill follows an Englishman (Grant) and an American actress (Roberts) navigating love under tabloid scrutiny, a narrative that echoes Harry (a British prince) and Meghan (an American actress) facing relentless media pressure. In the film, Anna stays in England for love; in real life, Harry moved to America with Meghan, flipping the script but landing on a similar note of defiance and devotion. Fans on social media—like tweets from February 15, 2021, saying “Meghan and Harry recreating the Notting Hill final scene shot, chef’s kiss”—latched onto this, especially since the announcement dropped on Valentine’s Day, amplifying the romantic vibe.
